We have about 50,000 users depending on it right now, and im running SVN-3838 or something. The SVN versions are generally better than 0.4-beta. But you have to be willing to be on top of things.

Agreed. My ~2000 users are on r3788. I decided to hold it there until the Safari/Windows attachment bug was fixed. (That happened over the weekend.) I do not update my "production" server until I have identified a stable Trunk release, and even then only after testing.
I would recommend that if you decide to go this route, install Subversion to checkout and manage your Trunk version rather than manually downloading a nightly build. Using Subversion you can easily backout a bad update.

================================== I want to add a comment to this. I have no real concerns about using a trunk version in production - with two requirements.
One is that I be deliberate and careful in testing and choosing a stable release, and that once a stable version has been identified and placed into production, don't keep upgrading as the trunk changes. Wait for a compelling reason to change.
The other is that I probably would NOT use a trunk early in the development cycle. Doing so now as we approach the stable release isn't too bad, but early on it would be harder to find a version to sit on.
