The point of my post was that if I were living in a remote area 
somewhere, I might well have received a XO from some organization. 
I'd be much less likely to have received Fedora or Debian or Ubuntu, 
or images or a livecd.

> What do you mean with jhbuild inclusion in the mainline development?

I quoted the post titled "Sucrose 0.81.1 Development Release".  The 
only purpose mentioned in that announcement, or in the webpage it 
pointed to, was: "test the release in jhbuild".  I concluded that 
what the title of the announcement meant by "Release" was "we have 
packaged the source so it can be given to jhbuild".  If that *was* 
the purpose of the announcement, then obviously jhbuild is an 
integral (i.e., mainline) part of the (development) release process.

The point of my post (and its title) was that if I were living in an 
economically disadvantaged region somewhere, I might well have 
received a XO from some organization.  I'd be much less likely to 
have received facilities to be able to build from source.

Yes, please -- what is the URI for where the daily __builds__ are 
kept which include Sucrose 0.81.1 ??
