This shouldn't happen imo.  The server should have an api for the client to 
query for a list of supported distros and the client should use it.

Tests are always nice to have. I think tests of the api should be in the 
h-source code.  I wonder what kind of tests should be in h-client code.  They 
shouldn't depend on real servers though.

Yeah, the staging server picks up the development branch daily.  The prod 
server from the h-node branch (merged manually from development branch) weekly. 
 I may also make manual pushes.
