I'd be as skeptical as you, if that's the question. There are bound to
be those who just want to "try" ardour3. And within that category,
there are those that want to "try to help" ardour3. Sure, the fact
that there is something like a buildscript out in the open definitely
makes it easier to do either, but I'm pretty sure that kind of people
are the minority and should be the least of your concerns. Really
following ardour3 closely (or any other software development for that
matter) with a buildscript/package is a bit cumbersome IMHO, but many
testers don't really follow code, and to them, a buildscript helps
keep everything in check, tip-top.
