Right, but my point is that it is up to GNUnet as a project to send
users the right message.  As a user, I expect to use releases rather
than pick an arbitrary commit.

As a distro, our job is not to choose the commit that will give users =E2=
=80=9Ca
good experience=E2=80=9D; this is upstream=E2=80=99s job.

IOW, we must tweak Christian et al. into making a new release.  :-)


Now, it=E2=80=99s not the end of the world if we provide a development snap=
shot
of GNUnet, and it=E2=80=99s a win if people find it useful.  But we must ke=
ep in
mind that this is an exception.

Does that make sense?
