I do not fully agree. They want US to test the code, they want US to help write the docs but you don't think they should let US know when they change things that would effect US helping them? If they want our full continued support with new development, then I feel a little heads up would be nice.

However if you're living on the bleeding edge by using SVN snapshots of a
development branch, it's your responsibility to pay attention to what they're
doing.
