Generally speaking, we try to make each external release as stable as 
we can and  the internal releases may be a little bit less stable, 
but for the last two years I have been using the internal release 
exclusively for my day to day drscheme needs.

We do not need as complicated a setup as linux since we only have 
about 5 active developers and 4 of them are within 100 feet of each 
other.
