At Apache we do our work where it can be inspected by
the public while it is in progress. That work, carried
out in the subversion repository, is not to be publicized
to end users as a place to pick up the latest and greatest
distribution of our software. End users ALWAYS need to
be directed to formally approved releases. Not only does
that give the project space to do active development on
branches / trunk that hasn't been put to a vote yet, it
means that users have clear guidelines where the project
is willing to extend whatever stability promises it wishes
to make to it's users.
The foundation does not consider subversion as a valid
distribution mechanism for software releases. In fact
we don't expect software in subversion to be vetted for
licensing issues until it comes time for a release, so
please do not point end users to svn!
