My opinion -
bleeding edge is a subjective term. I think it's appropriate to build DSPlayer with nightlies late in the version dev. cycle as is being done now, because pre-Eden has been locked in terms of new/improved features for some time, and is in final cleanup, and therefore the nightlies are
relatively stable.
However, once Eden is released and a new development cycle starts, and for probably several long months after that, as database redesign takes place, new features are developed, implemented, and debugged, the main code is going to be very unstable, with *many* broken features and aspects.
Again IMO, trying to continue to develop DSPlayer on top of that "flag flapping in the wind" is probably going to end in frustration for both users and developers, because when something doesn't work, you won't know if it was DSPlayer or the new dev. trunk that's b0rked. And what was working perfectly yesterday, and should be even better today because of DSPlayer improvements may regress to not working because of main trunk changes.
I would suggest that once Eden is released, that the official release code be the base of what DSPlayer is built on for at least the next 6 to 8 months, until the new nightlies are generally locked in new features again, and proven to be relatively stable again.
Just my $0.02
