6 I think the most important thing to convey with this property is that the source
7 code can change at any time, since it is pulled "live" from upstream.
8 "unversioned" doesn't really imply this - it makes it sound like it simply has
9 no version. Maybe something akin to "volatile" would work, but I still like
10 "live", personally.
