I need some of features (union in views, in particular) which are only
available in 7.1-current. How insane would be to try it on production
server? Are there known bugs that could cause loss of data or loss of
updates? Or just newer features aren't polished yet?

Also, where is cvs repository? Is there a CVSup access to it?

On a production server?  I wouldn't trust it with mission-critical data,
for sure.  But that's more an issue of inadequate testing than that
there are known bugs.

If you try this, be sure to make frequent backups ...
