Hi Justin, it would be great if we can clarify the policy the submodule dependencies.
Strictly speaking, these dependencies are in the form of git submodule and they are not part of the commit tree (instead, they are pointers to the specific version of dependency). If we just do git clone, or tag the release, the source content of submodule dependencies will not be part of tarball, so in some sense, they can be excluded as the part of the release, which might help us to make an easier release.
