I believe the significant point is that should Dave, EnterpriseDB, etc.
disappear tomorrow, the community _must_ have the instructions available
to continue producing binary releases. "Asking for updated
instructions" is obviously impossible if those people/entities
disappear, so having current instructions always publicly available is a
requirement.
My point is that this not something that gets mixed in with other things
someone does for the community --- it is a requirement, and if it can't
be guaranteed, the community needs to rethink these binaries. I am fine
with people forgetting stuff, but when someone says it is on my list of
other things I do --- that is unacceptable.
As I understand it now, the system is automated so the instructions will
always be current, right? Are there any other "primary"
(non-thrird-party) downloads on our website that don't have current
build instructions?
