Making a release would help to package your software by 3rd parties (linux distros, bsds, etc) and it would put an end to a dilemma of which version to put in packages. For example, experimental versions of FreeBSD and OpenBSD packages use 20170116 (the date of the last commit):

https://github.com/torbsd/freebsd-ports/tree/egypcio/security/go-ed25519
https://github.com/torbsd/openbsd-ports/tree/master/security/go-ed25519

I use a made-up version 0.0.1 in pkgsrc:
https://wip.pkgsrc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pkgsrc-wip.git;a=commit;h=a22a3c3bd039da8b75f79f12e2ca06e1533324dd

I don't mind if you version your release by date or as n.n.n because my package isn't yet in the main pkgsrc repository but it's probably worth checking how major linux distributions version your software.
