Seconded (from the pkgsrc viewpoint).  The real issue seems to be that
people working on projects don't realize that the broader audience
runs code that's been packaged from actual releases, not the latest from
git -- even though almost all useful contributions come from those who
build from git.  This has always been an issue, but it seems worse with
git culture.
