You're assuming that the new versions don't introduce new bugs. I think
that is overly optimistic. As an example I have been completely unable
to build a correctly working metacity on alpha from the development
series since May. There are bound to be things that need fixing.
Having said that I sure would hope that 2.4 makes it into the next
release. It IS better.
