   @ammachado about the dev@ check: Claus doesn't think this needs a dev@ 
thread, and the nightly section stays on the install page. The ASF rule about 
not pointing the public at nightly builds is aimed at server software such as 
Apache HTTP Server or Tomcat, which people install on production servers. Camel 
is a framework that users compile their apps with, and nobody runs a 
`-SNAPSHOT` Camel CLI on a production server.
   
   The reason for the feature: for 20 years, users who did not want to download 
and build all of Camel to try a fix waited for the release. Then they reported 
that the fix did not work for them, and it slipped to the next release. With 
`camel self-update --version SNAPSHOT` (or `4.22.3-SNAPSHOT` for a maintenance 
branch), they can try the fix right away and report back before the release. 
The CLI still says that a nightly build is a development build for testing, not 
an Apache release.
