I don't think that is necessary personally, people can use checkout
dates to refer to a particular time when a bug appeared, or can use git
or cvs tags and IDs (I guess that this can be harder in the case of git
than cvs when refering to specific file versions, though, and harder
for cvs when refering to a particular full snapshot).

I have no strong opinion about this though.  Some projects also decide
to make more frequent automated snapshot-level "releases" even if
they're unstable ones, which is another possible option for people who
need to refer strictly to a particular tree/version and not track the
latest changes...
