Actually, by the time a package gets to the main factory feeder devel
project, it should be usable. Packages are usually updated and tested
from the maintainers home project.
Not to be used in an environment where a crash or a bug could cause
serious damage yes but not "highly unstable software".

mozilla:Factory is in general only meant as a Factory feeder. The
Firefox 4 beta which should be used by non-Factory users is in
mozilla:beta. And that is not mentioned at the above page because it's beta.
(Those packages are pretty much in sync currently but Firefox 4 was in
mozilla:beta months before it entered Factory.)
