Its never recommended to use the development (SVN) version in a live environment. When a new (and stable) release (phpBB 3.2.x) will be available, there would be an upgrade for it as well.

And I really don't think that a lot of functionality of the code would be changed for newer release of phpBB 3 ...

Good Gosh code reader, that is a brilliant idea!

Yes, it is. For more information, have a look at Conversion from phpBB 2.0.x to phpBB 3.0.x

It says the place does not exist. May I use this occasion to ask (1) if and (2) when an upgrade will be provided / supported? Thanks.
1) Yes, upgrade ...
