Total newbs should be very circumspect, IMO, about the prospect of being 
remembered by the developers as people who walk into a forum and start 
dispensing critical advice in their very first posts.

There's a lot going on out there, and mistakes happen.  This is Open 
Sourceland, too; many many people working on the project are doing so as 
volunteers in time they have to squeeze out of very busy professional lives.

I have run CVS-HEAD in production for over two years.  In that time I 
think there have been two or three cases where this propensity has led 
me to encounter problems.  It's well worth it to do this in order to 
provide good feedback to developers about the performance of the code.

The slipup was primarily a function of the developers trying to meet the 
demand of the "public" to get the 1.2 code out the door.  Criticizing 
something everyone acknowledges already isn't really adding anything 
useful to this discussion.
