It's not just overnight builds.  It's also people maintaining remote 
installations of Mercury who want a little more stability than rebuilding 
every night, or don't want to have to maintain a bleeding-edge installation 
and/or install rotds on a regular basis just so they can compile the version 
(or branch) they're working on after an update (or merge).

Other than that, the documentation looks fine.  :-)
