False: if commented it wouldn't affect the binaries in any way.

I meant that even if the compiles were identical, if you wanted to release them with the code, you'd need to delay their release until the credits were ready, so now I understand why releasing them ASAP and releasing the code later when the credits are ready is better.

This thread here is to point out the indifference *from the community.*

Stockfish Polyglot's hidden source has become the tree that falls that doesn't make any audible noise.
The community has no standing to complain. Only the copyright holders have.

I complained and the sources were publicly released, so at least this is an example where ceasing to be silent worked.
