If you’re feeling froggy, you can always hit trunk/. That gives you the developement version. Which works. Sometimes. But if set up cron to svn up for you every night, there’s no input from you, except for the occasional database update.

In the end, though, I agree with you, Andy. They need a stable trunk we can point to and forget about it. I cannot think of any reason not to, and I can also think of no reason to have the current system! :-\

Does it only have the 2.x releases and not the 2.x.x releases? Or does it?</p> But Barry, is the branch current? Does it only have the 2.x releases and not the 2.x.x releases? Or does it?
