I was having a similar thought just today because I needed an
up-to-date Spur image and thought about asking whether you'd like
someone to set that up as an automatic job, then realized, we just
need to release.

Which, we are.  We are not "not releasing", we _are_ releasing, its
just taking a bit longer than expected because there are still some
bugs and loose ends (unrelated to Marcel's work) still needing tied
up.  Maintaining the separate branch and the bootstrap is a hassle,
but it shouldn't be much longer.
