And it is a waste of time and resources to synchronize.

Binary follows source.  Delaying source because of binary is a mistake.

Binary on platform A is independent form binary on platform B.  Delaying 
binary on platform A because of platform B is a mistake.

Distribution channels have their different speed.  Timing and synchronizing 
them is a waste of time.

The Source Code release is a milestone for the project and the rest is left to 
packagers and distributors on their platforms of choice.  The project can 
support them, but the project can't step into their shoes.

As far as I can see, this time around there were useful binaries available for 
Windows and OS X before Ubuntu.  How come no Ubuntu user is wining?

Anyway, thanks for the release, Bruno. Good job!
