If you wait to release until the software becomes stable,
then it might be later than you'd like. If you opt to release
earlier, then it might be less stable than you'd like. There
are some people who choose a less-conservative tradeoff than
the MinGW project; if their releases aren't stable, then you
really have to take that up with them.

IIRC, Keith offered to host bleeding-edge binaries here if
the people who built them committed to support them here,
but there were no takers.
