what this brings up, though, is a pertinent issue: why should the
default behavior of a binary cause the stable version to compete with
the development version?
This is actually a constant feature of Scribus, that at any given time,
there is a stable version and development version.

Perhaps the devs could consider the possibility of having default binary
installations that do not compete with each other.
