You don't have to be ashamed.  There is nothing cool abount using "the" 
development version, it is just a necessity for some people who have to do 
it as part of the continous development process. Users of the professional 
releases are executive class, people on the repository the working class.

Concerning AFP devel updates: I think there are still rather old email 
texts sent out to the official maintainers of some AFP entry, pointing to 
the ancient source development snapshot http://isabelle.in.tum.de/devel 
which cannot be run anyway.

I have recently starting thinking about making full Admin/Release/build 
snapshots routinely via isatest, for all platforms.  But it is one more 
thing, and sometimes we have just too much breakage of the existing 
services.
