For that reason I thought Quagga forked from 0.98.x ("rock stable") to a
0.99.x ("early adopters/developers") branch a year ago or so.
It might not hurt, though, if you ask on the quagga-dev list why they don't
update the 0.99 branch for such a long time if there are really so many
bugfixes in CVS.
For a separated quagga-snapshot package I don't see a large enough user base,
people who want to test use self build versions with debugging symbols and
the rest likes to most stable as possible version. Building an own .deb based
on my quagga package and a newer upstream source only takes you half an hour
so you might consider that, too.
