Do you remember GNOME 0.30? I do because it was in stable after 1.0 was
released. What would YOU call the more stable version? Just because something
makes it into stable doesn't mean it's really a fully stable package. And just

I can't take credit for the idea, it's been mentioned on -devel at least 5 times
in the past since slink was released. I'd avoid doing a "semi-stable" though.
