Can't we provide both? Nothing prevents us from releasing on pypi a package with frozen versions and keep the private index with a package that has minimum versions requirements. I think that this is the way that would make easy for newcomers to install the framework and possible for experts to tune it. It just requires a very little extra effort from us when preparing a new release.
I guess the actual difficulties of raw recruits is that they don't understand the Python packaging system and virtual envs, and may not even have setuptools or virtualenvs installed. In TG1 we tried to solve this problem with a tgsetup.py script which also installed setuptools. But this caused more problems than it solved.
I still think it's better if the docs properly explain and motivate only one recommended way of installing. If we provide two different methods or even two different variants of the package, I fear it will evoke confusion and maintenance trouble.
