As I said, this is very representative of how a new developer approaches the project - the reality is that to build master on pretty much any GNOME software, you have to jhbuild the lot. That's a very high bar to expect people to pass before they start building their first app. Plus, it's perfectly reasonable for application developers to build against a stable platform - now, platform developers, that's a different matter (and by the time they're building everything from git, we have them anyway!)
