We'd have to curtail this by saying "you can put SNAPSHOTs here, but on 
a limited basis and then take 'em out".

For instance, right now we'd have VFS and some other related stuff in 
Branch_5_0 only.  When those SNAPSHOTs being tested are released, the 
snapshot override is removed.

I'd rather roll the dice on incompatible combinations than set us up for 
even more custom runs and branches.

Already we have a geometric problem:

Number of TestSuites (AS, TCK, EJB3, etc) * AS Branches
