I was proposing switching to "always in developement" way few times.
Except few persons no one seemed interested.

Stable distribution for me means:

1. No broken dependencies, and if they appear in main tree, they're are
fixed within few days tops.
2. No betas, no RCs, no devel versions of software in main tree unless
necessary for security fixes.
3. Possibility of clean install using poldek and chroot, without hacks,
without using packages from previous versions etc. I was testing it
month or so ago and it still wasn't possible for Th. I don't know how it
looks now.
4. No more than 2 oopses/hangups a year, no daily segfaults.
5. No drastical changes in packages. Possibility of doing upgrade
without rewriting or manually fixing configuration files.

I suffered from at least one of those every time I was trying to use Th.
I didn't suffered from any of those while using Ac.
