SVN revisions are only ever recommended for developers. :)
That being said, I just checked out and compiled this morning (rev  
16340) and it went smoothly for me. I'm using FC8. I was setting up a  
new dev machine so I went from no install to complete dev install  
working in about 2 hours. If you're going to run an unreleased version  
out of SVN, I highly recommend you checkout and compile yourself so  
you don't have to wait for packages to update when something breaks  
and quickly gets fixed.

Actually, I did have 1 weirdness this morning. It stuck my myth  
libraries in /usr/local/usr/lib64 instead of where I told them to go  
in /usr/lib64. I copied them over (instead of painstakingly symlinking  
them like I should have) and it all worked just fine after that.
