Yes, well thats sort of the *point* of having it be open source, is that we can all review it and report any bugs. Not releasing it for that reason is rather silly (which, I realize you're not them, so that's probably not the reason -- its probably just an oversight at this point).

Originally there was supposed to be SVN trunk access to WPILib, but they *still* haven't given teams access to that. Yes, one might argue that if its in the trunk then you might be able to shoot yourself in the foot with code that isn't properly tested... but once again that's the *point* of having it available.
