I propose an interesting compromise -- If we produce Linux (and Mac) versions, why not only commit to do them on the actual release boundaries (with addition of perhaps the last beta or three)? This is more of a support question than a coding question and it may be better to just "do it all" anyway. But, there could be a notion, one way or another, of major/minor "release" such that we wouldn't be able to expect a Linux/Mac version for each of the (eventually numberless) versions of the console. Thus, people running on the equivalent of 1.8.0 could expect to see a Linux or Mac version (if we did both), but people running at the "SVN" level would be far more on their own in terms of whether/when/how often these things rolled out on the nonWindows platforms and how any interim versions were created and/or tested.
