Why is that 'non-release' information? It is actually a supreme
pain removing precisely what I WANT people to get: a way to
upgrade their development tree.

Simple: reduce the work of making a release to a
single svn command to tag the repository.
Reduce the maintenance of the release by refusing
to make any changes to it. If it doesn't work,
just get the next one (of course we will fix bugs ..
in the svn trunk).
