I haven't been able to follow this thread very well because of my
mailer, but my take on this is:  MC is a repository like CVS, darcs or
something.  If you are looking for a "head" version, then it sounds to
me like you are looking for a package manager.  I don't think MC does
this, and I don't know if it should.  But there are tools that do.  What
Seaside needs is to have a "universe" made for it, and when a new stable
version is checked in and "blessed" then the version gets updated in the
universe.

Even if everyone was strict with the branching in MC to have a dev
branch and stable branch that still doesn't help you at all (well, I
don't know if MC can, but CVS, et al can't) with dependencies the way
universes or something similar can.
