That's pretty much the question. How often do you guys update to new builds?

Before the AddOns merge, I was updating about once a day depending on what fixes were introduced into the svn. If a new feature was added, I would hold off for a bit so the wrinkles could be ironed out before jumping to a new build.
I stopped using the svn when the merge occurred. I held off compiling for a few months but kept an eye on Trac to see what was happening.
Since the svn has gotten much more stable within the past 30 days, I am compiling a new build about once every two days. Sometimes I build more, sometimes less depending on what is being introduced into the trunk.
Compiling a new build now, actually. First in three days. I always keep about 5 previous builds just in case the new one is buggy/unstable.
As a note, the bleeding edge is definitely for the bold. New users or those not interested in dealing with instability should hold off until the betas/official releases are released.
