Nope. The app developers said that they don't want to recompile at all. Not 
now, not in two weeks, not once per week. Never. 

The way to do that usually is to do a release. But releasing seems to be out 
of question right now, given that we only hack on it for about a year now. 

If you want app developers so badly against something that doesn't even start 
up (or until recently wasn't able to), then do releases. Do compileable 
snapshots. Get a release plan. Get a road map. 

Right now, we don't have a release schedule, we don't have a TP planned 
anymore, we don't have an Alpha planned, we don't know which API is done and 
which is not, we don't know when we release and what will be part of it and 
we don't know which parts of it will remain compatible after 4.0. 

So yes, we definitely need more branches and more bleeding / snapshots merge 
mess to solve the problem that we don't have application developers. Way to 
go, guys!
