People focusing on nitpicking my Linux example: it's irrelevant. In general the principle stands true: sometimes, to get a feature you need, you must install unstable software. Nobody wants instability for its own sake; what they want is the feature. I fear my Linux example may have led people down the wrong rabbit hole. Linux is irrelevant in this context. I could have used Windows. Sometimes, in the history of videogames, you needed a newer version of Windows. If you wanted to play the game, you needed to install this version. Or DirectX, or whatever lib. Pick your poison. Nitpicking particular examples is missing the point.
