They'll happen eventually, though I'm not sure when.  Ettore grumbles
every time somebody asks this question, so it probably won't be too
long.  :-)

Because they want to make sure that there are no major bugs, or feature
regressions, or whatever, in the stable, 1.0 branch, which they're still
doing work on.  Once they "close" that branch, and all developer time
goes in to the 1.1.x branch, then 1.1.x snapshots will be the place
where testing is really really needed.

P.S.  I don't work for Ximian, so the above is all my personal opinion.
