I have no strong objections other than the fact that I don't think we 
should be making so many changes in the released branches that require 
constantly updating packages in a nightly.  If you think it's necessary, 
I don't object, though.

As for the setup, this is more in Eyal and Ofer's domain I think.  They 
maintain the deployment of rpms from jenkins into the nightlies.
