+            In fact, the Yocto Project provides a distribution named
+            <filename>poky-bleeding</filename>, whose configuration 
+            file contains the line:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     require conf/distro/include/poky-floating-revisions.inc
+            </literallayout>
+            This line pulls in the listed include file that contains 
+            numerous lines of exactly that form:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     SRCREV_pn-gconf-dbus ?= "${AUTOREV}"
+     SRCREV_pn-matchbox-common ?= "${AUTOREV}"

+          .
+          .
+            </literallayout>
+            These lines allow you to experiment with building a 
+            distribution that tracks the latest development source 
+            for numerous packages.
+            <note><title>Caution</title>
+                The <filename>poky-bleeding</filename> distribution
+                is not tested on a regular basis.
+                Keep this in mind if you use it.
