I really detest the current trend of having no real releases and a lack of tarballs from various source projects. While openldap has an entirely public git repo, which is extremely useful for examinig discrete code changes or gathering history, all official releases are and continue to be done via tarballs. I.e., I think public source code repos can be extremely useful tools, they are not a great way to push official releases of software.
