I think part of the answer to that should be to suggest a tag, e.g.
`-rgcc_latest_snapshot', rather than a date.  Unfortunately last time I
looked that only worked for the 3.0 branch, not the trunk, since there's
no "known to bootstrap" tag for the trunk.

(But I agree that the number of failing bootstraps is much too high.)
