You have no proof for that. Unstable users are good testers ... and not
always "annoying users who will rant after the maintainers".

The proposed transition is not as bad as you think. I will never
advocate anything that would hurt the quality of Debian. On the
contrary, I propose things that have the most chance of turning out
well based on my experience...

If we had more upstream involved, you'd have the very same argument
between upstream Gnome people. :-)

Upstream also has to trust the Debian maintainers from time to
time ... because their experience counts as much as the experience from
the upstream.
