+1 with one difference. When we do experimental things in Lazarus, then it's
usually ifdeffed , so ordinary users won't be disturbed by new  
experimental stuff.Lazarus trunk is usually broken (few times in last  
few weeks) because devels forget
to add some unit or don't build lazarus (and test their changes)  
before commiting.
Anyway it's fixed in few minutes ... max 1-2 hours, so @Frank: if you  
run into broken trunk, then go to lazarus viewvc and see where it's  
broken (or write your last good trunk version - that's what I'm  
doing), and svn update -r LASTGOODKNOWNTOWORK.
