I can agree with this point. My question is "But what will we use for 
tinderbox?" If we had boxes to run tinderbox on (i.e. on all supported 
platforms), we wouldn't have the "build problem" in the first place because 
we could just ship those stripped binaries. Where would we get the 
tinderboxes? Or am I missing something obvious?

Are you proposing we have a "benevolent dictator" to manage releases, acting 
as an official maintainer? Possibly maintainer by committee (e.g. those with 
cvs access get a vote?) I'm fine with either proposition. I'd also volunteer 
for either, but there are other highly qualified people on this list too who 
are more deserving than myself.
