I think you hit the nail on the head. Thanks to everyone for their comments in this thread. I think we are going to be able to make it work with two build plans. The continuous builds will always create snapshots, and no tagging is necessary. The requested builds will be release builds if there is any chance we plan on having QA test and approve them.
