If you get CVS HEAD running, this is the very first thing it will tell you:

"This is a development version. It may or may not work.
Report bugs and other problems to gnucash-devel at gnucash.org.
You can also lookup and file bug reports at http://bugzilla.gnome.org
The last stable version was GnuCash 1.8.10
The next stable version will be GnuCash 2.0"

That sums it up nicely.

HEAD and other CVS branches are continuously changing, each developer tries to 
a) make sure their changes never stop the code from compiling
b) commit usable code.

However, just to compile any project from it's CVS code is a significantly 
different task to installing from a package or even a distribution tarball.

That's just a short list of the dependencies that need to be installed - it 
raises another important point. The package maintainers for each distribution 
have a large and complex task. By moving to CVS, you are faced with doing a 
lot of their work yourself.
