I don't. I wait for at least rc1 first, and generally rc2, figuring the chances for data gobbling bugs (and for frustrating no-compiles) are at least reduced by then. Of course the downside is that by the time I start testing, there's often a LOT of code between me and the bug, thus way more rounds of bisecting, assuming it bisects at all (this one's the first I've had serious trouble with in that regard, tho).
Yes I update every day, stubborn as a mule. I'm lucky that I've never suffered disk corruption, I suppose, but I *don't* use experimental filesystems like ext4. I leave that to the big kids :o) My stubbornness paid off just three days ago when I bisected a zero-day kernel bug that broke gdb -- the bug was fixed in less than 24 hours and in Linus's tree on the third day (today). Amazing.
