[Development] dev snapshots idea

Hello Qt team, Jani,if possible, it would be nice to have snapshots during the whole development of a Qt release.I'm not asking for nightly builds, but I would say snapshots every 1-2 weeks would allow a lot of users to test the latest developments, especially for those who follow Gerrit like me.Building Qt from GIT is somehow tedious, requires a lot of time and moreover you're never sure if a build issue is because you haven't done a proper clean/disclean/uninstall/git pull.
I believe it would also help you guys not to rush to fix deployment issues when the time comes to release an alpha/beta/rc.
Maybe you can just limit the targets to the most used ones, which you will decide.E.g. Linux+Android x64, OSX android+ios, Windows msvc2013 opengl and sources.
I would appreciate some feedback about this idea. If it is not feasible, just let us know.Thanks in advance and keep up the good work !
Massimo
