>This is not the way real open projects do releases, and instead indicates that the real development is done in-house and the code thrown over the wall There are several projects that are free and open source, wildly available to every platform, hacked upon by hundreds of people, that still do cycle releases and development behind the back of most developers and only release full .tar.gz archives with sources after a milestone is reached. I might be wrong but iirc bash is one of those projects (or at least was), I seem to recall people complaining about it during the shellshock issue. The GNU libc might be another but I'm not sure.
