The notion of repeatable builds means we only work from tags, not HEAD. (Of course, the notion of repeatable builds seems to go over some developers' heads, since apparently maintaining actual installs is not their problem --- what, everyone doesn't simply rewrite entire application stacks when $component gets updated in an incompatible way?!)
I thought that might be the case. I would then recommend that sumo-devel be retired, since having it be ancient does not seem helpful and taking on frequent (daily?) updates seems like too much work for everyone.

If someone wants the freshest (and most mutable) code, build from source.
