To hear this is good news, I have yet to spend this time to review the
intermediary work.  But I am extremely happy to hear that someone finds
this massive body of work promising.

I think your opinion of "releases" may be overrated however.  What is a
release wrt kicad?  Its fools gold IMO. Just use your own build, you
obviously know how to build it.

I regret ever creating the stable release.  It is simply fools gold.  The
testing tree almost always has fewer bugs simply because they get fixed
faster.
