Well, as there is nothing wrong to provide builds outside php, while it creates some real confusions from time to time in bug reports, I really do not think it is a good thing to publish a build for a given non existent release. Even if it is tagged, a release does not exist until it is announced. We have delayed releases many times in the past because of last minutes bugs, it does no one good to get a buggy version and to think everything is fine.
