How do I tell this request to, politely, go away?

always-nightly has a number of differences to -nightly, not just the "always" part of it. But if this is the main point of difference, then I contest the claim that -nightly has "pretty good tracking". As a blatant example, right now it is on 62.0a1.20180509, while always-nightly downloads 62.0a1.20180510.

There is also the fact that firefox nightly updates twice a day, not once, so the -nightly package is never accurately tracking the latest.

Some more occurences from the firefox-nightly comments:

57 is out, could you post the new source?

57.0a1 is out now, needs a version bump.

Version string seems now 56.0a1.-1


That's two fairly recent occasions where firefox-nightly was behind. The 57 one shows no update in 8 hours at least. Firefox-always-nightly would have produced the right version within a few minutes of the update actually going out. That is why it exists.
