If you are using snapshots or SVN then there are risks. And there is a 
warning about that.

I know a lot of people use it anyway, and think of it as rather save 
(and that provides for a lot of well needed extra testing).

But let me remind you: Just a few weeks back several people lost their 
entire project folder, because of a bug in SVN and trunk snapshots.

Anyone taking that risk, should think of being unable to compile the IDE 
as a real minor issue.
