I don't understand. What version will "come with their [server]?"
{quote}
Wherever we publish the source, be it an SVN checkout with an SVN revision ID,
a date-based development snapshot, or a full-on release artifact, if there is
driver source contained within then people are going to be encouraged to think
of those drivers as being the same version as the node (e.g. 0.8.9). They're
also going to be encouraged to think that those drivers are the best choice to
use with the corresponding node. It's futile to think they won't, and having
other vectors (www.a.o, PyPI, etc), will only add to the confusion.

Consider postgresql: the server is distributed on postgresql.org, and psycopg
is distributed over PyPI. Nobody gets confused about staying on an obsolete
version of psycopg.
That's the model I see us moving towards. (As you know, we recently got the
Python cql driver on PyPI.)
{quote}
You make an excellent point. Pyscopg is maintained in a completely different
repository (git://luna.dndg.it/public/psycopg2.git) than Postgesql
(git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git) and is released (and published)
separately, (which is in fact consistent with best practice elsewhere).
