We had a few uglies in the early 40s.  The point in using an unstable
version is that you cannot expect to install once and forget for a year.
Depending on your luck, you may require several iterations of
reinstallation versions back and forth before you get something working
well, and you should be prepared to report new problems so that they
don't stick around for longer.  And you also have to be prepared that
brand new features you like disappear or change and you have to readapt.

I only use particularly new versions, and part of the reason is that
when something annoys me, a fix or extension tends to make it into the
code and of course it's there because I want to be using it.
