It has been never required, but binary packages are built on the latest -STABLE AFAIK, so not being careful about foreward compat incidentally requires users to chase -STABLE as well. This may be a problem for -RELEASE users, though this is somewhat alleviated by the fact the latters surely don't upgrade their 3rd party packages very often. every so often.
