Again, this is expected. I would actually advise people who don't
build Emacs themselves not to use the development snapshots for
anything serious.

Sorry, but I'm afraid this is here to stay, at least for a while.
There are a few contributors to Emacs who tend to make disruptive
commits at least once a week. I see no signs that they will stop any

during a pretest, or a feature freeze.
