What Gwern said for 1) and 3)
2) Not all head repositories are kept stable/buildable at all times.
Isn't it bad practice to not have a buildable repo? In any case package owners would be free to use or ignore the data as they like, but I'm pretty sure it would be useful to many.
I often work on different sub-parts of my packages; as such the interactions between them might not work. I don't see why I should ensure that it does, as the repository is a _development environment_ not a release. That said, there are some projects which generally _are_ buildable/usable for their repositories (e.g. XMonad and XMonad-Contrib). But these are large multi-person projects with moving targets; the stuff i write is being developed by myself only. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
