Just because you use source control doesn't mean you have to support any
random release of the code.  Almost no open source projects I know function
this way; there are clear releases and supported versions.  Is there some
other reason you're opposed to public source code?  It's really difficult
not having a history of changes made (and a changelog is a poor substitute
for source control history), or being able to roll back the library to a
previous version to locate regression.

My $0.02: if you've gone this long without source control, then I don't
expect you're about to change, but you should really reconsider this
decision at some point.
