Stepping back a bit here, what's the goal of using GitHub Releases? Is it primarily to 1. Disseminate release _information/announcements_, or 2. Distribute release _artifacts_? If (1), great. This makes...

Looking at Auspice's use of GitHub Releases, it appears that the only release assets are source code snapshots, not NPM package artifacts. Is this the same use we'd expect with...

Ah, ok, sounds good!

Late to the party, but I concur with the analysis and comments above, particularly @victorlin's rationale in https://github.com/nextstrain/augur/issues/920#issuecomment-1125408882. While I don't think it's necessarily worth our time, I think an...

My 2¢—others will have a much better sense of what's useful in actual practice—is that it'd be ok to ditch the additional complexity of partial ambiguity and just allow full...

> …but I expect that to be a small straightforward change. Untested, but here are two ways to make that change. Smallest diff: ```diff diff --git a/augur/__init__.py b/augur/__init__.py index 31ee6826..a69dcf44...
