Hope it doesn't sound bad but there is never that guarantee with any version.

I think that has more do do with the fact that most people don't compile or don't like doing it often.

I don't see the big deal. If you want to post a bug report you have to test in a factory build which you can grab from the release threads here and retest. It always compiles. Actually once it didn't for me and then I saw a thread about it in the mess shoutbox about people making a fix for it. It was far from the end of days that people sometimes make it out to be whenever the git link is brought up.
