"Snapshots should be made available regularly, so that users who need a
 firm foundation for deployment have one. They'd be numbered, so we could
 call them cut 4, cut 5, etc. Each would be a snapshot of testing at a
 point when it was in especially good shape."

Another option could be calling each snapshot cut YYYY-MM, or cut
YYYY-MM-DD if we plan to release them more than once per month.

I realize that 'freezing' testing when it is in good shape we adhere to
the "when it's ready" philosophy, but can you think of a rough estimate
about how often it could happen?
