That is the part of "always in developement" idea.

For me personally if we will switch to "awlays in developement" distro
it would be easier to:
1) Maintain my machines, by simply doing poldek --upgrade-dist out of
stable tree. Occasionally there will be need to do some manual upgrades
like from postgres 8.0 to 8.1 which requires database dump/restore. Now
lets assume that we will stay with current distro politics + we will
release new version every year. So once a year I'll probably have to
reinstall all the machines because version Z was released and X has
reached an EOL.
2) Maintain distro itself. Now if there is some security bug it should
be fixed in Ra, Ac, Th. With "always in developement" we'll
prepare/commit/test/build fixed packages only once.
