I will not work on stable branch or use it because I'm not the person who 
should be there. I'm perceived as person who pushes Lunar fast forward and 
this is true (with good and bad (but not intentional) results). I hope my 
declaration will encourage those developers who quit when development 
speed was too fast to come back and work slowly and peacefully on stable 
branch with Jean.

Florin also looks to be interested in only development branch so you are 
fully safe :)

If you fix any bug in stable branch do not hesitate to commit it to devel 
branch. Here you do not have to be careful so much or ask for permission. 

If you work on stable branch you can always check devel if the bug was not 
actually resolved and take the solutions to stable.

We should develop in similar way as RedHat. Fedora is our devel branch 
where everything goes fast but usually stable and stable branch like RHEL 
which is conservative and takes from Fedora what works stable and was 
tested for example for a year.

This way people from stable branch can take modules from devel. Test them, 
polish them and put in stable. This will safe their time because the most 
bugs, file conflicts etc... are resolved at development branch. And their 
systems are protected against development storm which happens from time to 
time.
