Also, an idea I had:

Have 2 repositories, stable and unstable. The unstable repo would be used the same way the current singular one is. Constantly updated without attention paid to changelogging or version compatibility.

A second, stable repo where releases are numbered, update instructions are laid out clearly, and changelogs list additions and deletions.

The stable repo could also consider removing some of Heyuri's cultural footprint on the software to make it more generalized for a wider audience. Many board admins could view the default inclusion of heyuri fortunes, emotes, etc as them using HEYURI's software rather than using kokonotsuba. This is disadvantageous. I do not support removing credits to heyuri however
