http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what
"Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage 
non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release 
candidates, or any other similar package. The only people who are supposed 
to know about such packages are the people following the dev list (or 
searching its archives) and thus aware of the conditions placed on the 
package."

For these reasons, we speicifly do not link to nightly builds off the main 
website (but we also don't retroactively edit news from 2006)

We do however mention/link to the nightly build system on the wiki pages 
targeted at developers.
