I already answered part of that question in my last mail. Apart from that there are many users who are not really acquainted with CVS (okay, there's the web interface) and with "installing" and byte-compiling single files. And if those users manage to do that (probably by handholding them through the process) they'll get some hodgepodge of files from releases and CVS. And providing support for such hodgepodge installations will be quite a nightmare. I'd really, _really_ like to avoid such a mess. -- Ralf
