It mostly means that people like me who are able to recompile the code get immediate access to the changes. Of course it also means that Randy can get faster information whether there are bugs in the code.
I can update right now to the latest version and see immediately whether it is allright.
It makes life easier for everyone working with code, whether making changes, looking for bugs or just compiling the "latest and greatest".
Randy's changes can be made available instantly without uploading a full release, and coders can automatically merge them into their "working copies".
This means that coders can be looking at the most current version of the code, testing it, looking for bugs, adding features. When someone posts a patch, it can be against the latest version, which makes it easier for Randy to integrate, if he decides to. And when he does, changes are again instantly available for everyone - an easier and quicker turnaround both ways!
One can also see what changes were made, or revert to any specific version - handy when looking for bugs.
Coders can also see their own changes and produce patches more easily.

those who have what it takes to check out and compile source code should know what a "development version" is, and its pros and cons.But also you have to keep in mind that the most recent code actually works. It's not released for a reason.
