Well if even upstream authors *fully* recommend using development branch
then I think it's stable enough.
Filling artificial RC bug won't help anyone either.
I will be still unable to update 'race' package which needs this
development branch (well I will, but then race will have to own another
artificial RC bug).
Another reason is flexlay (A Generic 2D Game Editor). It can
create levels for games which are already included in Debian (or are being
worked on). It needs development branch too.
