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.
I don't not mean this in a way that you include experimental features
that are not yet fully implemented, but more in the case of adding a
feature which - by accident or whatever - works differently or not at
all on a different platform (or doesn't even compile there). That's why
I also mentioned FPC's trunk, because after the merge of cpstrnew the
Unix platforms where initially more broken than the Windows ones.
