It means, it enables to work that Jamie has been doing to be built. 
Right now it is disabled by default so nothing under development breaks 
the normal build on TRUNK.

Yes. But I think there will always be regressions, some known about some 
unknown. I really don't think this is a big problem, especially when you 
consider the improvements that have been made and that very soon after 
the release we will be introducing a major change to improve this (FTS).

At the end of the day, it is a trade off, do you want a release in 4 or 
5 months or do you want one now.
