Mike, It's not just u, it's every dev that cares about e17 that should get into that mode and run from stable... at least until e17 is released.
I got some kind help from Ronald, from ArchLinux and he already packed the "enlightenment17" into [extra], which is quite easy to get more users. We'll do some minor tweaks and then we can announce. I'd suggest that every developer using ArchLinux and cares about e17 uses the EFL provided in [extra]. I just moved from the previous "-svn" builds to this stable one, so I can also help testing. But we need to do 1.7.2 or 1.7.1-alpha1 before e17-alpha5. Otherwise we don't get the people to test the same software.
