I need a non-numeric version for continuous publishing of gettext snapshot

I wonder how users of these tarballs would be able to identify
snapshots if there is no version information.
I find that for CI tarballs a
stable URL is the more important feature.
Somewhat related:
If you're posting the tarballs to ftp.gnu.org or alpha.gnu.org ,
the upload script (build-aux/gnupload) can create symlinks,
and even provide examples of symlinking a "-latest.tar.gz" to a
versioned one:
----
$ gnupload --help
[...]
4. Create a symbolic link foobar-latest.tar.gz -> foobar-1.0.tar.gz
and likewise for the corresponding .sig file:
gnupload --to ftp.gnu.org:foobar \
--symlink foobar-1.0.tar.gz foobar-latest.tar.gz \
foobar-1.0.tar.gz.sig foobar-latest.tar.gz.sig
----
Would that help with a stable URL for testing?
