If what you're looking for is to live dangerously, but not too
dangerously, consider upgrading to 1.4.2A (which is on the path to
1.4.3). If nothing else, upgrading from source should be comparatively

Decision, decisions. The changes to the main branch (current) can be
found here...

and the changes to 1.4.3 here...
