As some of the APIs and interfaces change over time, the dependent software like Collectd PMU plugin [1] has to watch out for changes to keep itself upto date with APIs of pmu-tools.
Since there is no release versioning, PMU plugin could abruptly fail when APIs change.

Could there be a release model specified for pmu-tools so its easy to rely on a specific release?
Whenever a new release is tagged, the plugin or any other dependent software could update itself.

Things to consider in release model:

  • release cadence - once in 6 months, etc., or adhoc release?
  • release notification - email to subscribers?
  • release notes - very valuable to rely on, especially when there are heavy changes
