I don't think you're going to ever get consensus. But you can have my opinion. :-) In order to understand my response better let me rephrase your question in terms of GCL. If there were several branches of GCL which one should be "published" as "GCL"? My opinion is that it should be the stable version of the trunk. Special needs people can always fetch from a CVS latest trunk or branch. Both GCL-2.6.8pre and GCL-2.7.0 have features but are still changing. Based on that I believe that the Debian version should be based on the last stable version of the system which is available everywhere else. Thus I believe that we should "publish" as "Axiom" the version from [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED], all of which are identical. Thus, [EMAIL PROTECTED] would also be identical. When we promote silver to the gold version I will be pushing out a new stable release to all of the sites. If Ondrej and you are able to help we can also bring the Debian version up to date at that time.
