Helloooooooooooooo !!
Well, I just wondered if it still made sense to have developper's releases. I mean, if we can just merge reviewed branches into trac/develop, what's the point ? We could just pull from there whenever it contains something we need and do not have yet, and so that would be the end of beta* and rc* ?

From a developer perspective, you can just pull git and be up to date.
But from a user perspective it makes sense to have releases that are well-tested as well as binary distributions. And you don't want apt/yum to download a new package for every git commit.

Yepyep, I guess the user releases do still make sense. Hmmmm, cool !
