Yes, but I see it from time to time that people who wants to be on bleeding edge and don't have too much insight on what it takes to run a stable system choosing such a distro. I would also say that it's only slightly worse than running it on the latest Fedora or Gentoo which also tends to get new releases of packages a bit early.
