That's up to them - I am who I am, currently just an independent
hobbyist, so that's an individual decision for them to make.  However,
it would be nice for me to also put the instructions[1] for building
on your own Pi (or any machine) into the Github repo as well.

Also, I've never heard "ghost at the feast" before - is that from a
specific country?  :)

They're what popped out when I followed the build-from-source
instructions[1] on the Pi, using the deb-src packages for 0.2.4.16-rc
from the Tor experimental repo with no other modifications - in fact,
I think I probably should have put a minor version name on them to
avoid being "upgraded over" with ARMv7 packages for people who have
the experimental Tor repo in their sources.list, but I'm not sure
about that yet.

No worries, it is what it is - people who don't like the idea of
downloading binaries from some random dude can see the following link.
