Thanks for the update! This is fine for me; the tagged SDK builds come
pretty frequently now, and when I need to test something brand-new it's
often still on a pull request so I have to build locally anyway.

I would really love announcements of new tagged build availability to the
list though, or an RSS feed or twitter bot I can subscribe to. (I can
probably rig up a feed or bot from scraping the update data, if you think
that would be helpful.)
