We can always update automatically, but we can't revert automatically. In the past people have requested older versions of the snippets being available (the doc snippets are available as part of the docs, but the others are not, IIUC). Some might want either a choice of version in the LSR, or the ability to access a git repository of the snippets with multiple versions available.

We should have snippets work with the latest stable unless in requries a devel version. Thanks for all your work on this. Carl
