Just to forestall other private responses [already gotten two], mine is slightly different than your's, and David Woodhouse's setup. My goal was basically to create a daily pre-patch, complete with hacked EXTRAVERSION. That's something that is familiar to testers (pre-patch form), and the snapshot is not so often that people will get buried in a flurry of patches and csets. can you say "2.5.30-bk439" ;-)
So I consider my dailies as a complement to your bk2patch and dwmw2's output, not redundant. Programmers would probably find dwmw2's per-cset patches to be more useful, while testers and power users, and maybe maintainers, would prefer daily pre-patches to test and sync against.
