To second Dawid: I am using master for a few months now. I come across a few annoyances
here and there and try to fix them as I go. Of course, master is not as tested as the
stable branches.

Yes.

At some point, it could be that we add new data items which will be lost if you
return to the old versions. For now I think, that all changes are transparent and
don't cause any problem when switching back - should we need it.

We may do a first alpha release towards the end of the year. I am currently
very busy at work and don't have very much time to work on the project.
Having a few more people who run it would certainly help to identify the
areas that still need some love.
