Mike, Laszlo, It's a good idea to store the shell binaries into the assets of each stable tag.
If we go in this way, it means "build" requires network connection to download the shell binary from the assets of a certain release. Do you think it's acceptable? Or we can separate the binary download and build into two phases so build phase can be independent on network connection. Is there any known practice/solution for such requirement (stable sub-component binaries needed by a production image generation)?
