Fully agreed. After all, simply checking stuff out from SVN in order to 
get bleeding edge was what we used to do all the time before we were 
using eggs. Using a development egg is much better than having to 
release a bunch of -dev-rXXX eggs regularly that may even be bogus 
(because they're bleeding edge) and then just clobber up
