Development versions _ARE MADE_ for *TESTING* _AND NOT_ for *PRODUCTIONAL* 
use.
That's why they are called development/rc/beta/alpha/gamma/etc.

Not really. We have branches. If someone wants devel version -- he adds a 
branch for it, unless if there's no stable version available (some security 
issue, etc.).

That's a bit stupid. It may work for him, but not for 20 servers with smgl 
for the corporate project.

module-init-tools is a very basic spell, that must be tested _a lot_ before 
committing to the test grimoire, and of course it mustn't be a _development_ 
version.

Yes I know. But I'm just against garbage in smgl grimoires.

bah. look at the other distros, the most _clever_ ones never add extra 
depends for SUCH basic spells, cause they're (depends) useless for real.
