Right now I keep master and branch daily builds (as well as pre-releases) completely independent from stable LyX packages, which allows people to blissfully install both stable and bleeding edge versions on the same system, without worrying of corrupting their production environment. Losing this will probably imply that we can install only one build at a time on a given system, which will reduce the testing opportunities for bleeding edge code....
