Thanks for another data point.  

You'd need to add to another "as long as", which is "as long as it
keeps up with felipec/git-completion".  If we fall bahind, you'd be
better off getting updates directly from there, not from us.  

And I suspect that not many Zsh users want to care about the
distinction between the two.  If it were as easy to grab the latest
version of Felipe's as an update of Git from your distro, wouldn't
most people rather choose to do so?

If we are not doing much reviews on Zsh completion on this list, due
to lack of interest and expertise, then we will either fall behind,
or blindly copy, Felipe's repository and republish as a small part
of our project, without adding much value ourselves.

Which is not a very happy place for us to be in.  I dunno.
