One approach we've taken when considering changes to the routes used is to
play in the 'garbage.' prefix. You can see the results of earlier
experiments there:

https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/#garbage/garbage

Regarding your proposal, I find the word 'nightly' overloaded, and it needs
more context to make sense. There are lots of 'nightly' builds, but only
one 'nightly' channel (for Firefox anyway). So
"gecko.v2.firefox.win64-opt.nightly.latest" isn't clear to me at first
glance.

I'm curious what others think though.
