Unfortunately, that > means not upgrading Emacs. [...] I disagree somewhat. At the moment, Emacs tip is compiling peacefully in the background (Debian GNU Linux user here). Compiling Emacs has never been so easy, especially on GNU/Linux. My strategy is this: There are some applications close to my heart (Emacs is one :) which I do compile myself (I have a strong opinion about things, and disagree on some choices made by the distributor). I try to script everything (e.g. the "configuration" is a script) and compile often. This keeps the build pipeline "warm". That said, I agree, somewhat, too: I couldn't do that to all of my currently installed packages (roughly 100) without going insane. There I trust blindly my distributor, to whom I'm infinitely grateful for this incredible job.
