Perhaps I should make the official installer install whatever is in SVN at the time instead of having a release tarball at all :)
Ximian used to start the install process for Gnome by doing something like:
wget -dump http://...../install.sh | sh
Note that I don't care how you do thinks behind the scenes only that it is one step to install and one to uninstall and the likely hood of hosing anything else is zero.
This is open source and the version number is way less than 1.0. There isn't any harm in doing lots of little point releases, aka release early and release often.
Sure there is, it takes up time better spent on other things.
It depends on whose time you want to spend. There is your time once, vs the time of all the individual people you asked to test things.
Since the existing release already works for me (with my small change to get optimize to work), there is little motivation to test things under development that require more work to get going and back out of. The lack of a point release also makes it harder to reproduce things on multiple machines.
