absolutely, which is why i qualified that recommendation with "as
long as users know the risks", with the risks (or at least reasonable
cautions) pointed out to them.

i'm currently updating the bitbake manual (yes, you should be
nervous) and i noticed that there is nothing early on about how to
*get* bitbake. so i'm going to add a short section, suggesting first
to use the latest official tarball (explaining where to get it),
followed by a section for more advanced users on how to check it out,
with the appropriate cautions.
there will be a HUGE caution added that people should make sure
they're not running an old version.
