</div>You make a good point, and we are going to look into testing across<br>
micro-releases. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Cool.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> That said, I don't know whether we should expect a<br>

Landscape usage on clients is a small fractional portion of our intended user base (ie. a rounding error imo). Windows, OSX, users that stay on LTS are a much relevant portion our makeup, so pushing client versions to LTS and making windows and osx client updates available is important. Go happens to make most of that trivial (cross compile from linux for binaries on those platforms) such that its worth considering hosting static binary releases so users can get the latest and greatest regardless of their platform.</div>
