Description

Releases are a good idea for a bunch of reasons

one of those reasons is that without it, using bazel, downstreams pin to commit hashes

the way that github works is that if you use a commit hash it could be a commit hash from anywhere, which makes it easy to:

- create a fork of the repo
- make malicious changes
- propose a "rolling" update in downstreams using your commit hash

you dont need to open a pr - so there is no way _here_ of telling someone has done that, and so it relies on downstreams checking that the hash is really an ancestor of `main`

this can be easily avoided by adding releases
