Now to the extent that regular commit-fests keep patch development more closely aligned with the mainline CVS, the fest proposal might indirectly alleviate your pain. But I'd think that snaps taken *after* the fests would be the best for that, as they'd be closer to what any subsequent development would be based on. The stability argument I made doesn't seem like a problem for testing purposes, only if someone were to try to use such a snap for production purposes (which putting them up for archiving might encourage).
It might be worth applying a simple tag (but not a branch) at the end (and maybe also at the start) of each checkpoint/fest/whatever
