Do you also install pre-alpha revisions of operating systems on your main work pc? No, you do not. Why? Because of the "foreseeable compatibility and security issues".

"Well, why don't you install and only then resolve issues if you have those difficulties?" most comments here are asking, in effect

Cause you're sane, that's why!

Same here. yt-dlp does not owe it to anyone to beta test things. Maybe this bun rewrite will be the best thing since sex, and maybe it won't be. Not wanting to alpha test someone else's shit is sane. And the bugs (if any) would go to yt-dlp, forcing them to debug someone else's alpha software. This is a sane response.
