Take it and test it. If it doesn't build, write here. Scream here! But
don't ever assume that things on CVS don't build.
How can you think _so_ bad of MC developers?

It should be at least as secure as the last released version. In fact, a
security fix has recently been applied (cons.saver could overwrite any
file IIRC).
The only thing that can be a bad surprise for you is the new "localized
case sensitive" sort on panels, thanks to Timur Bakeyev. Sometimes I just
want to revert that patch, by I still hope to find time to make everybody
happy (i.e. make 3 sort modes - sensitive, insensitive and locale
default).
