msf development is too fast and too inconsistent.

For example, the current latest and the greatest version requires an outdated 
version of simplecov (= 0.5.4)

In future, it will require ruby 2.1 with really old 
actionpack/actionpack-3.2.21 (which does not has ruby 2.1 target in Gentoo).

Once again, I suggest to make a snapshot and bump it once in awhile.

This is the only way to make sure that users can upgrade their systems 
smoothing, with no failures.

The 9999 version belongs to bleeding edge profile. Really.

and once again, we have releases and git, if you want to use a snapshot, use a 
release.

it's not about what to use.

I'm unable to finish the update because MSF fails to update constantly.

Here is the error what I'm facing today:

Resolving dependencies...
Could not find gem 'metasploit_data_models (~> 0.21.3) ruby', which is required 
by gem 'metasploit-framework-db (>= 0)
ruby', in any of the sources.

okay, I want metasploit:9999 on the livecd, you don't want it on your systems.  
let's compromise and make it livecd use flag dependent.
