Ok, I have no idea what happened with those emails.  We've had some
issues with building snapshots (some of them long-standing issues and
some introduced while I debug the release building process -- between
releases is when I get to hack on this code) but I don't know how any
of them would result in the same email going out twice.

Probably just me fat-fingering a command, actually...

Yes, that is correct.  We used to have 3 weekly snapshots on the ftp
servers but that got cut down to 2 because some of the mirrors were
running out of disk space.  (I'll bump it back up to 3 when the cluster
admins tell me there's enough disk space.)

Ok, this is just me being stupid.  The stable/14 snapshots were completely
broken two weeks ago (you'll note no snapshot email for stable/14 went out
that week) and I disabled the command to rsync the snapshots for 14.x since
I didn't want to push broken bits out to the mirrors.  And then I forgot to
turn it back on again until now.

Thanks for pointing this out!  It's too late for this week's bits (I've wiped
them from the builder to make space for another build-process-debugging build)
but it should be fixed for next week.

Sorry about the mess.  I'm hoping to have everything building smoothly soon;
the last thing I'm trying to deal with is some hard-to-reproduce breakage
when installworlding into many VM images simultaneously.
