That's the development branch which can introduce new features and remove old ones at any time, you should be on maint if you want "stable". If you want even more stable, then don't update unless you hit a bug that is fixed in maint. > What I am trying to raise is a discussion on whether or not there > should be a stable git branch or at east some kind of unit test set > that make sure that really basic functionality doesn't get broken > without being recognized instantly.

And if any tests fail on your machine, then the convenience target "up2" doesn't install the resulting Org, so you never see that broken version. > Unfortunately, I don't have time to follow all the interesting > discussions on the mailing list any more. Does this imply, I can't > use Org-mode any more? No, but I'd say you shouldn't use the development version of Org and you shouldn't run Org directly from the Git worktree.
