On occasion, yes. 

I think nightly tarballs could be quite useful.  Whilst it's easy to
check out from subversion directly, a nightly tarball provides a
specific point of reference which can be helpful when trying to
identify a problem.  If we had a specific problem we were trying to
fix, I would very likely grab the latest tarball and try it out.
