They are switched to a release branch when the branch is created, and to
mainline at some point after at least one release from the branch. They
are mainly for testing, not development, and reflect the code it's
considered most important to test.
With the new machine, it may now be more reasonable to generate snapshots
from both mainline and the most recent release branch at all times
(doubling disk space used by snapshots and time to generate them), but
someone would need to contribute the work (including ensuring that the
first snapshot from a new branch gets diffs generated relative to the
previous mainline snapshot, etc.).
