        I'm still recommending you don't do that however cool it may be. 😉

                Snapshots.

                I like the concept because I like to update my test box daily. but I also like to watch it as it updates so automatic updates would be out for me just for that reason.

                  Yeah, about the only place I would consider doing this would be a test box running 2.5 snapshots where I'm specifically testing new snapshot failures.
