I personally need a compelling reason to grab stuff from HEAD.  Myself,
I generally only backport bugfixes (some XFree86 committers don't bother
to do this for a stable release branch).

It appears, though, that DanielS is not as conservative.  I guess we'll
see how that works out in this case; in general it's a pretty bad
strategy, as we've seen occasionally.
