I agree Groestlcoin is similar to Bitcoin, but not with your conclusion 
that it makes the package unsuitable for stable releases.

Only if Groestlcoin makes as disruptive changes to their protocol as 
Bitcoin did in 2013 will stable release of Groestcoin be problematic.

I will consider our options if that happens, not give up ahead.
