I think the problem is that Mark also said

I do think we should do is provide a known-good version (whether via a tag in some version control system, or via a tarball) of these libraries so that people can easily get versions that work.

and this is the part that didn't work; it's not good enough to think that a good version might exist, you need to know what it actually is, because knowing what it is might change your opinion on whether it's good...
