There is also the period when the release version is "5.7" but before packages/firmware are available on mirrors in the 5.7 directory (and actually this usually lasts for longer than the "beta" phase). I don't have an answer for this, but it seems out-of-scope of what is being done here, as people who know they will always be using snapshots can just insert the word "snapshots" in the URL themselves rather than using this variable.
