The problem is:
You belive installing outside packages is only for devs [1] and thus
instructions on the tarball are targeted for them and (for that reason) master
is what to put there.

I belive that (as with any other software package) bundled instructions are for
installing the piece of software. They should be concise, and clear. I it was
up to me, I'd have a different instruction files set for each Koha release. I
don't put effort on maintaining that because te QA process takes so much time
that this gets obsolete (this patch was targeted for the 3.10 release for
instance).

[1] The fact is packages is what people uses less (just quoting chris cormack
on this).  And instructions inside the tarball should be... for installing from
that tarball. The git stuff should even be removed from there, as makes install
instructions tl;dr and people willing to develop have other ways of getting the
proper instructions and tutorials.
