The problem, as Jiří Kosina put is succinctly is that the
distributions
are finding stable less useful because it contains to much stuff
they'd
classify as not stable material.
Does anybody actually review hundred-patch dumps for stable stuff? I
don't. Any regression fixes or security fixes are buried in 90% chaff.
"Could be improved" is why you upgrade to new versions, yet "random
improvements that we don't think will break anything' is the vast
majority of stable.
Bar's a bit low for my tastes. Oh well.
