As a note: "Uber" is not a good citation for "Many companies". ;)

But I totally lament the lack of use of tagged releases on GitHub. Sometimes I am looking for versions before some things but after others, for some reason, and it can be very hard to find in a commit list where the code was stable/functional. Depending on the repository, you often can't trust current master to be stable code either.

Totally fair - my point was that users are beyond just early adopters. Glide doesn't keep a good record of public users.
