I think that's a non-argument as it is common practice for people to
work with the latest trunk version and in practice we have often
recommended users to do so (a credit to the stability of the code and
quality of commits).
e.g. Erik's post from
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/30227?search_string=production%20stable;#30227

This decision is therefore not just one that will effect users in 2007
but more likely as soon as we decide a 1.5 commit takes place.
