Please, don't make too many experiments in the stable repos and keep
the packages in the repos as close to the "stable" upstream releases as
possible. I don't think that having a git version in the repo is a good
idea anyway.

I can imagine that upstream already knows about the problems and is
already working on it.

I agree with Nezmer that people who want the latest unstable packages
should build them on their own from AUR.

If an official package completely doesn't work then I think downgrading
it to the latest working version is better than upgrading it to an
unstable version.

Greetings,
