Yes. And I was not sure if they guy wanted working code or to help
work on code. In case it was the latter, he would need ntp-dev.

Bitkeeper needs an email address for code checkin only.
You do not need to provide an email for anything else.

I see we are in violent agreement.

I agree. No login has ever been required.

No reason to spin up, but if you want to publish tarballs you are certainly
free to do so. Please note that when I roll tarballs I do things like
bump version numbers and stuff like that. You have wanted to avoid learning
how to do these things, and I would really appreciate your staying with
the status quo.
