Agreed. My ~2000 users are on r3788. I decided to hold it there until
the Safari/Windows attachment bug was fixed. (That happened over the
weekend.) I do not update my "production" server until I have 
identified
a stable Trunk release, and even then only after testing.

I would recommend that if you decide to go this route, install
Subversion to checkout and manage your Trunk version rather than
manually downloading a nightly build. Using Subversion you can easily
backout a bad update.

==================================
I want to add a comment to this. I have no real concerns about using a 
trunk version in production - with two requirements.

One is that I be deliberate and careful in testing and choosing a 
stable release, and that once a stable version has been identified and 
placed into production, don't keep upgrading as the trunk changes. Wait 
for a compelling reason to change.

The other is that I probably would NOT use a trunk early in the 
development cycle. Doing so now as we approach the stable release isn't 
too bad, but early on it would be harder to find a version to sit on.
