hi, i'd like to kindly ask if the patches that are included in
snapshots could somehow be provided to the people running the
snapshots, in some way, like source-changes@?

one part of free and open source software is that i know which code
i am running.

and i am obviously totally fine with testing stuff, but... this
is reeaally sensitive stuff that'd be nice to know about if i am
running it on my system.

thank you.
