Yes and no. Yes someone needs to test new software, no that is not for
everyone. The presence and uptake of LTS software indicates that being
on the edge of development is something folks would like to avoid. I
know as I use LTS versions of Ubuntu and Django for that very reason, I
want to get work done without worry about having to pick up 'shiny bits
and pieces'. That being said, it allows me the time to kick the tires on
new software, of current interest Polars and Duckdb. It comes down to
time available and what you want to spend that time on. That could very
well mean making testing 'Somebody Else's Problem', in the way that
Postgresql Core has made packaging some else's problem:

The core project wouldn't document that, because we just ship source
code not RPMs. There might be a README in the core postgresql RPM
package telling you what's what.
