 Yeah, we should not do that right now, at least not until we found the
 issue why the crash is happening (fwiw I notified Jacek about it, see the
 stylo bug on Mozilla's bug tracker as a patch from him is causing that
 breakage). I think picking the latest stable that works and filing an
 upstream bug (making sure it is still unfixed) seems like a good idea to
 me.
