@eirikbakke I mostly agree, but -

We simply don't know where people will download from with NB26.  There will be 
no "official" Windows installer, or at least no-one is working on what would be 
required to ship one as far as I know.  There will be no macOS installer afaik 
either.  The ASF zip and the community .exe installer have comparable usage 
stats.  The ASF .exe usage is at least an order of magnitude higher.

I guess we'll find out whether people want "official" or they want installers.  
My concern is that the two options should differ in behaviour and end result as 
little as possible.  That has always been the aim.  We should also not conflate 
official with trusted - some of these are literally built and signed on the 
same box, by the same person, at the same time!

Another thing to consider if going down the agent route is whether to use asm?
