That would be useful, yes :)

libyaml is clearly the future, but it is still at 0.0.1 release (for
over a year) and distro-makers do not believe in such numbers… I will
be glad to switch at the moment, when libsyck has clear
release-process (todo, roadmap with dates, etc.)

My main current use-case is a php extension based on syck, which is
stuck because of bugs in syck-0.55 (those bugs are fixed in
subversion, but there were no formal releases for several years).

To put it straight: I need to have the new release of syck, which
could be adopted by os-distributors and need a way to release bugfixes
in future, if needed.
