For me, the problem is I'm doing both: experiments with new features (that 
leads to series of bug reports and sometimes patches on the tracker) and 
using Player for everyday work. And I have to do everything to keep new 
versions of Player working on my hardware and systems that run it. if I 
stop this, one day I won't be able to update Player anymore. That would 
stop my patches and bug reports forever.
