Unless i am mistaken, is this not the main difference between
a versioned distro and an unversioned/unstable development distro?

It seems to me that if OE did as you suggested then someone would 
have to continually be modifying bb files to adjust cvsdates just
to atleast be within a few days/weeks, which sounds like a very 
large task concidering that could potentionally be a couple thousand
packages ...

But i am interested to hear what the general concensus is on the topic,
as your statement on bandwidth is very valid not only for SF, but all 
the servers that we pull "current" files from.
