That is what I would recommend too.  We need to get into the habit of rev'ing JBTIS so that consumers can use it as one stop shopping for integration tooling.  In the past, JBTIS has been sitting on a single version, living in a perpetual limbo.  This has got to change or we will be ill prepared when it comes time to productize the integration tools.

Generally, users of specific components (e.g. TEIID), should install the latest "release" using the JBTIS site.  If those same users want to stay up to date with the latest nightly or development version of that component, they should also add the update site for that specific component.  This should work for all cases except where the nightly or dev version changes its dependencies in such a way that they cannot be fulfilled by JBTIS.
