Thanks for the pointers. I'm fine with what you provided, no need to 
further discuss this :)

I guess if we desperately need to build for x86 it will be for <6.3 and 
will be taken from downloadarchive.df.org, at least for the time being.

What's the chance that the part before the 'current' changes somehow in 
the future? That 'tb87' worries me the most :)

So I'd like to use this one, very handy; but I still remind wget 
complaining about the delay between release time and that pointer being 
updated. Reasons behind the delay are *not* being challenged here :)

But since the effort of auto-building those AppImages is mostly to have 
them as soon as a new release is published (as community members ask for 
the AppImages just hours after release), well, that might fail the goal 
from the incipit.

Thanks for the summary, probably more than sufficient for the moment.
I'd return to this when we will replace the binary builds with source 
ones (if it will ever happen :) ).
