These may be stable in the sense that the bits in them, exept for the
most recent instance, don't change: but they are not "stable releases"
as generally understood.  They are not specially tested or debugged;
about the only guarantee is that they do actually build.  They may not
work with the current egg repository or anything else.

> Development code =>

Not chicken/branches/trunk but chicken/trunk.

>    The code from svn trunk is used to build all the eggs once a day.

This is why I say that the HEAD of trunk is the best and most useful
available Chicken, except when it happens to be regressed, in which case
a complaint to Felix will almost always bring a quick fix.

The word "stable" does not appear on that page, and IMO should not.

It's like if you meet an really old, really rich guy covered in liver
spots and breathing with an oxygen tank, and you say, "I want to be
rich, too, so I'm going to start walking with a cane and I'm going to
act crotchety and I'm going to get liver disease. --Wil Shipley
