Except that it is available.

<sarcasm> Of course, we have been drowning in a flood of contributions since 
the 3.7 beta source code has been available, so you might have missed the 
original post about its availability.</sarcasm>

The opposite is true: To make bigger changes, you stick to a fixed working 
copy as you don't want every small change screwing up your large changes. 
Afterwards you merge your code. That is why there are branches and related 
features used when managing large source code repositories.
