Well, from my point of view (which is probably limited by the fact
that I haven't maintained any projects before), I think slate is
already 'unstable' enough in the sense that it won't be usable to the
general public for a fair amount of time. For this reason I think it's
enough that there is just one branch, main, and then someone would tar
up the darcs file and make a static link somewhere for people to play
with. If there's just one branch, I think it will be easier to stop
the random breakages... but I don't really know from experience. I
think most users that want to play with it don't want to fool with
checking out a darcs repository even though they are becoming more
common nowadays.
