Every now and then I see a message about trunk not compiling or some the
feature being broken.

Trunk is supposed to be "use at your own risk". There are phases were it's rather save to use trunk, but there are also those where it needs to be considered "experimental". An example for this was FPC's trunk the last weeks since the merge of the cpstrnew branch.

+1 with one difference. When we do experimental things in Lazarus, then it's
usually ifdeffed , so ordinary users won't be disturbed by new experimental stuff.Lazarus trunk is usually broken (few times in last few weeks) because devels forget to add some unit or don't build lazarus (and test their changes) before commiting. Anyway it's fixed in few minutes ... max 1-2 hours, so @Frank: if you run into broken trunk, then go to lazarus viewvc and see where it's broken (or write your last good trunk version - that's what I'm doing), and svn update -r LASTGOODKNOWNTOWORK.
