Why is Canary Unstable?

1. Frequent Code Changes

• Continuous Integration: Canary builds often integrate the latest code changes frequently, which can introduce new bugs and instability.
• Unvetted Features: New features may be merged into the Canary build before they are thoroughly tested, leading to potential instability.

2. Experimental Features

• Early Access to New Features: Canary builds often include experimental features that are still in development and not fully stable.
• Feature Flags: These features might be hidden behind feature flags, but enabling them can still affect the overall stability of the application.

3. Dependency Issues

• Unstable Dependencies: Canary builds may depend on the latest versions of external libraries or services, which can themselves be unstable.
• Dependency Conflicts: Rapid updates can lead to conflicts or issues with dependencies that are not yet resolved.
