Hi Peter,

It's pretty good. Lilypond suffers from the overly false modesty that all
open source projects have, which is to declare development versions
'unstable'. Technically this may be accurate to say, but in practice I have
found the development versions over many years to always be outstandingly
good, a real tribute to the excellence of our developers. It's the same
with version numbering in open source: modesty demands that some programs
sit at version 0.9 or so for up to even decades until proved utterly error
free beyond all earthly standards.

Where's the harm in it? You can always install multiple versions side by
side.

Andrew
