Oh there is no problem for me using the git version, along with a ROOT checkout that I also modified to use the Steffen interpolation. I have a feeling that most users however will not be compiling their own versions of GSL or even ROOT, so putting everything into the official versions has been on my mind. It’s just an extra thing on my mental todo list that I’ve been wondering about.
