I do think there's one legitimate concern -- someone might pull a diff from Larry's branch and then accidentally push it back to the public repo, and then Larry would be in trouble if he was planning to rebase that diff. (The joys of DVCS -- we never had this problem in the cvs or svn days...)

Publishing tarballs would prevent this and still let people test the exact code Larry is assembling on their favorite obscure platform.
