he actually has a point. before a release we run several extensive tests to track regressions and fix what is caught, but if you take a generic svn revision you have none of these bigfixes hence, while as of late the differences between main releases and update releases are almost not-existent in stability terms, the differences between a release and the current svn can be quite large
and for the record, the reason why "even if there is a full release, on the SVN after some hours there are already new interesting commits" is exactly that those commits might break functionalities in some drivers and need some more public testing before next release...
