What about a 3 step scheme :
stable + updates
unstable -> becomes frozen when frozen ..
developpment, experimental, whatever you want to call it.
another way of shortening release time is to work with a dual team, one for
unstable, the other for development, at least for critical packages, but do we
have enough developpers for that ?
