That's the development branch which can introduce new features and
remove old ones at any time, you should be on maint if you want
"stable". If you want even more stable, then don't update unless you
hit a bug that is fixed in maint.

There already is, it's called "maint". And if any tests fail on your
machine, then the convenience target "up2" doesn't install the resulting
Org, so you never see that broken version.

No, but I'd say you shouldn't use the development version of Org and you
shouldn't run Org directly from the Git worktree.
