Only because I did it so.  There's no automatism.

I don't want them to be mixed into the same pot.  Test releases are
probably not bug-free, but in general I expect them to be a bit more
stable than a snapshot.  A snapshot is allowed to screw up terribly, a
test release isn't (or shouldn't).  That I created snapshots together
with the test releases was just to make sure that snapshot were not
in a worse shape than the test releases.
