Good evening,
I'm no suckless expert, and this will probably sound really trollish and
asshole-ish, but you know what wouldn't suck?
A human who loves package managers and mirrors surf git,
tests it periodically, and tags it, with a third version number (e.g. 0.6.x),
anytime he/she/it (and whoever files his/her/it issue tickets) deems it
stable, to help package mantainers!
