It would not be better to have a release  cycle such as the one of arch
linux (no static downloads, but a well defined notification of stable builds
from the git repository)?, I think it would also be great to have that info
on the build or download page.

Ah, check, then that one is out of date.

My Git clone refers to Racket in the README, but oddly PLT is mentioned in
the instructions for Windows users as a example of a library you need.

The tarballs should of course work and be correct, but I'd suggest using the
Git version for anyone comfortable with that kind of thing.
It should have less bugs, more features but most of all it should have
faster fixes. 

It also strikes me that the name "Fluxus" implies a sort of continual change
that may not be particularly well suited to static downloads
;-)
