It might be a good idea to package up a tarball of the stable version, if only 
because it gives potential users warm fuzzies.  I have the same basic 
complaint about buildroot.  There's no "version" to download.  The difference 
is I've never had a buildroot daily snapshot just work for me.  I have had 
openembedded.dev checkouts just work :)  

Also, having to mess with monotone just to scope out the project could turn 
some potential users off.

2 cents from an outsider...
