It's a whole lot better than slime *not* starting up. Again, context:
"Getting Started."
BTW, it's this sort of thinking, that one wants to constantly update
because some bug or other may have been fixed in the latest svn/cvs
commit that leads to projects never making releases, which is a Bad
Thing(TM).

Again, *not* looking for the latest and greatest in the context of
"Getting Started." Merely looking for "known to work even though it's
6 months old."
As the old chestnut goes, one never gets a second chance to make a
first impression. The first impression one gets now does *not* reflect
the quality of clojure at this point. The first impression one gets
now is "OK, broken, check back later." Clojure is more mature than
this, and the initial setup brokenness is easily solved by putting up
an archive of working versions of the various components even if they
grow to be many months old before they're refreshed. This would not
require an automated testing server, just a single tar command line
once or twice a year.
