So we'd have a cron task on libvirt.org fetching the latest archive
from Jenkins every hour? Or would we just point people to Jenkins
directly? Either look feasible, but the latter would cause the URL
to change.

Note that we're currently only publishing hourly snapshots for
libvirt itself, not for any of the dozen plus projects that are
hosted on libvirt.org alongside it. Doesn't that kinda show that
they're not that useful after all?  Do we have download statistics
proving people actually care about them?
