I'm thinking there should be a "stable," "preview," and "nightly"
build. "stable" would be where everyone who just likes things to
"work the work they work" can use. People who like cool new features,
but don't want TOTALLY broken stuff can update off of "preview," and
"nightly" is like dudes chasing oiled pigs. This new classpath stuff
is a good example. I actually have mostly working patches for a large
part of it, so I can commit that to nightly, get it integrated,
promote it to preview for daring folks (who still need to get work
done) can update from and work with it. If there are any issues, they
can always go back down to stable, but I can still continue to add
riskier features on nightly.
