Please explain what is broken. Btw, we do have release + patches in RHEL. And in Fedora, when we can't take a git snapshot (or when someone want to update with patches). If the tarball + patches is the same as git, we can take a git snapshot. No?

No, spice-gtk doesn't follow gnome release cycle, version scheme etc. I really try to keep git as stable as possible so we can release at any time. Bug or regressions can always occur no matter how you do. Then a new release is needed.

I still fail to see what problem we have by making releases this way.
