truck is mainly for developers working on current code, and if guys 
keeps bitching about this minor issue, the devs might not allow pple 
like me (non contributors who do not contribute to the project at all) 
to access trunk anymore.

Enough warning has been given, he already said LiveTV will be broken a 
few days ago, what more do you need? So what if LiveTV is broken, so 
what if everything is broken? It's the main development branch for god's 
sake!!

If you want something that works, get the stable branch. If you want to 
use head, be prepared for minor hiccups.. The code is in active 
development, there's *absolutely no reason* to branch things just to 
make trunk work for non-developers.

Branching and merging will probably cause more problems..
