Why would you want to install something that is so heavy under development that it is not being released? Why is everybody so keen to add extra steps that add no value what so ever. In my opinion they are not only annoying but simply add the chances for inconsistencies (like forgetting to copy a file) and confusion (like forgetting to move down to an actually released version of the package).
