Most snippets will probably be written for the stable version (e.g. 2.4) while 
the unstable (2.5) is developed. So when the new stable (2.6) is getting 
closer, all those new 2.4 snippets should be converted to 2.6.

However, I still think there should be an unstable branch of the DB: There has 
to be a place to put examples of the new features, that only work on the 
unstable branch of lily. IMHO it would not be so important to keep the 
unstable branch of the DB correct/compilable though, at least not until the 
stable release is near.
