   I must agree with @mik-laj - IMHO this is really against the release policy of ASF to point to master versions. The only releases you should advertise in public website should indeed be the released ones following the official release process, which involves signing the sources, voting by PMC members and publishing them via Apache SVN. You can still publish convenience packages (such as released PyPI packages) but they should be prepared using the sources officially published and voted on by PMC members. 
   
   Encouraging end-users to use master version by cloning the repo is very risky for the project and put the PMCs of the project in a difficult situation because they are responsible to check if the end users gets the software that follows all the licensing policies (this is one of the most important effect of the formal voting).
   
   Following the releas policy has the effect that it makes the PMC members idemnified of any potential litigations and ASF takes over any potential litigation costs etc.
   
   It has rather serious legal implication, so I suggest you discuss it within the PMC members  (cc: @mistercrunch since you are PMC here :) I know you have experience from Airflow as well so maybe you can also state your opinion here).
