That is why the quote is at the top of the page. I could simply re-quote the
quote or you could just believe what it says. :-)

Pull != Intake
Intake is simply an implementation of a Pull Tool.
The Pull Service itself should be pretty stable in 2.1. I don't know of any
real issues with it. It is pretty simple.

Yes.
The CVS-HEAD isn't really buggy perse. It is under near-daily modifications
which are not always backwards compatible and sometimes very hard to keep up
with.
