Who would test your code then before releases if not those who compile
from trunk?  You developers obviously don't…  and what is worse, you
apparently do even *care*.

These three bugs I found are so blatantly obvious and so severe that
even the most sloppy manual testing, let alone unit testing, would
have revealed them, but all you have to say to such a bad failure is
“Boy, this is trunk, go home to mama, and play with old releases”?!

I am sorry that you do not know about CI, unit testing and software
quality, but I do, and thus I am horrified by the neglect and
ignorance you demonstrate in developing one of the most important
tools of my daily work.
