Good point IMO.
But be damn sure not to have *anything* important on this PC.
Development kernels *do* have bugs which can wipe out all of your data
in a second...or trash your BIOS / HD / whatnot all-together. Thats why
they are called "unstable". (yes i'm very serious)

I can't speak for 2.5x kernels. When i did the update to 2.3 a year or
two ago (needed a driver which wasn't in 2.2) the documentation was more
than complete in telling you what versions of programs you need to run
the kernel. I didn't have any problems getting it to work.
You should consider subscribing to the Linux Kernel Mailinglist.
Follow the threads and you will learn a lot.
