I'm using O'Caml in an industrial project. Of course, I'd like to make sure that I give my customers the most stable environment possible. As more and more bugs are found and fixed in the CVS version, the temptation to upgrade from the official distribution becomes stronger. But is the CVS version usually more or less buggy than the official distro? I know this is a very diffucult question, and that it is much easier to answer, "Try and it, and if you find a bug, report it." Yet, I would like the developers to take a stand on the use of the cvs source. Do you encourage widespread use? Do you encourage use only for testing purposes? I ask because I would like to stick with official reccomendations, rather than experimenting on completely unknown grounds.
