As Albert says, it's really a difference in perception. We decide to put
tarballs up as soon as possible, even while we're still testing them. If we
decided to run a test before that, we'd have people asking for it right away
as well.
That is really easy to solve: Only build the tarballs we actually put our
"final" tag on. You'll have the updates later in your repos, but you won't get
any of the smoke test problem.
