please think from the user perspective
indeed you don't expect them to link to your builds
that's does not mean that they should not do that.
from a developer point of view they have some reasons for that - connected with the credibility of the GIMP stable release probably.
why they don't point to your builds ? ..I don't know.
this is a gap on communication also - many users ..let say early adopters can use those unstable builds for giving back bug reports or usability issues.
reducing the gap - you reduce the feedback.

this is a problem of egg and chicken - they would not be there (90% of them - I take out the "visitors by mistake" of gimpusers) if they don't have GIMP already.

yes - it's all about communication - why stay hide ? why so much caution and for what reason ? too much Ying or too much Yang is not good either - a strong community involve communication ..consider those links as bridges. Maybe you can't imagine how powerful media vector Internet is ;)

groups to keep a link to gimp.org? I build Windows versions and don't
expect gimp.org to link to my site. Moreover, there are other sites
such as Gimpchat.com (my favorite), gimptalk.com, etc. Should they be
linked as well? :)
