I made the remark that if your riding the cutting edge expect to get 
bloody.

Sometimes it happens that some NEW part of a release isn't quite up to 
snuff in some ways. [ KDE 4 release, don't remember which Kubuntu 
version it was, comes to mind as well as certain comments about Plasma 4 
] There may be some very good reasons for this to happen. Upstream 
development usually seems to be the issue. And, it may or may not effect 
certain users. We all use our computers differently and rely on 
different packages. [ I personally relied heavily on Quanta+ which died 
in KDE 4 for instance ] Each time it happens there is a great hue and 
cry, but the bumps are usually smoothed out fairly quickly.

When it happens that it becomes necessary to include a portion of the 
release that is not quite "there" yet it becomes very like "cutting 
edge". If the features you rely on work then your fine. If not, you get 
a bit "bloody".

All the gnashing of teeth, sack clothe and ashes, hueing and crying does 
very little on this list other than create long threads of angry replies 
extolling the virtues of this or that.

There were also replies in this thread to the effect that someone 
usually adopts things while they are still pretty much beta stage. My 
hats off to them. Thank you for doing the beta testing to find and fix 
things before I have to adopt them. Not being in any way techie I stick 
to LTS releases. I lack the skill set to "ride on the cutting edge."
