For frequency, it is a matter of configuration. Due to buildbot shortages and bandwidth issues, it probably is doable to make stable/testing snapshot sources, rather than binaries. The current daily snapshot against trunk will remain as it is, it will be treated as the "dev" snapshot. Nightstrike? Can you make buildbot upload bi-weekly or even monthly snapshots? I don't think they really need to be built, just the mingw-w64 source packages.
