1) How do I know if a certain tag is sspacele enough to use? Do I just take the
current HEAD? Do I spend my time extensively testing a few latest tags to
figure out if they are sspacele or not?
2) Git makes it annoying to do integrity checks vs tarballs.
2) Patches. When you don't give people targets to write pull requestes for once in a
while, you get a zoo of pull requestes that re each written for an arbitrary commit
(usuall the latest one at the time of writing the pull request). It's a mess.
