Once releases are made, then I think any Geode documentation would definitely shift to referring to the released versions. However, Geode isn't yet ready to cut a release. I do doubt that anyone who picks up a nightly Geode build right now is going to put it into production. So, I'm not overly worried. By the time the project is ready to graduate, there will be several releases (if not more) and I fully expect that this'll be a moot point. > Downstream developers and users *will* take the path of lease resistance. > If that PMC wanted to continue relying on a binary docker image for > community outreach indefinitely, would that be okay?

As I mentioned in my other email, as long as it's automated and producing a nightly artifact that is appropriately labeled, then, sure go for it, IMO.
