It is not all that urgent; it was more of an opportunity to demo to random
passerby client scientists (of next week) that these things CAN be
automated (as a first step binary, then they will automatically find the
good arguments for the source based compilation) and lure them to help
complete the "climate science environment". In short, do as you prefer, no
big expectations here.
