Cool.

I touched on this in the omitted parts of my previous reply. Landscape
usage on clients is a small fractional portion of our intended user base
(ie. a rounding error imo). Windows, OSX, users that stay on LTS are a much
relevant portion our makeup, so pushing client versions to LTS and making
windows and osx client updates available is important. Go happens to make
most of that trivial (cross compile from linux for binaries on those
platforms) such that its worth considering hosting static binary releases
so users can get the latest and greatest regardless of their platform.
