So, wouldn't this be a similar issue if you get a released version of
the helloworld with a released version of tuscany compared to the most
recent snapshots ?

What would be the "version name" for the release ? I think we should
do a regular milestone/beta release and I'd be ok if some samples
might be broken, but I wouldn't like to see source only distros, as
that would kind require the users to have to build anyway, unless they
are using maven which it's not really a requirement we have imposed
into users before.
