I don't want to be prescriptive, by any means, because I'm not a developer,
but it would seem that the overall project runs the risk of lacking a
certain healthiness if some thought isn't put toward doing this, say, at
least once a year.
Because if not, you're leaving behind all mutt users who have to depend on
sysadmins to do the installing (I, for example -- for the time being, at
least -- run MacOS at home and ssh to panix where I run mutt. As it
happens, I'm lucky, because they will install 1.3.23i when I ask them to,
but most sysadmins will not install anything other than non-beta,
non-development software even if you beg them.

Of course, but I'm not at all eager to repeat that experience. Learning
mutt well and getting it optimally configured was a gradual process that
took several months, though granted it was in its early stages of
development then.
