Cyrus-sasl official releases?

[Jakub Jelen]

Thank you for clarification. Clearly, I can do a snapshot from a git, 
but it was something I wanted to avoid in an official distribution.

Do you or someone else from the maintainers plan to do the official 
release in close future? Is there some blocker? I can certainly test the 
release/pre-release to make sure it does what it is supposed to do.
