I switcher to develop for parinfer, which i like. And the new fast/lazy-loading of packages is also nice. Had absolutely no problems with develop so far…

I can attest to that. Been using develop for over 3 years. Major hiccups I got? Maybe 3 or 4. All were fixable within one hour. Mostly it wouldn't take me longer than 20 mins. Develop is very stable. Things that can make the whole config unstable are usually upstream updates - changes in the packages

So you all just pull down the latest develop changes every so often?
