I'd rather keep the devel branches separate for now so that we can keep
our options open. I'm not yet sure whether incremental updates is better
than a big bang update or vice versa.

Given all our difficulties in supporting seamless updates I'm leaning
towards multiple incremental updates. Even when we have as-needed in
place there's still likely to be the odd manual fixup. The bigger the
bang the bigger the difficulty in those fixups.

For me current test is working perfectly fine on multiple systems
including X11, as long as you don't go around selecting scm versions of
X packages. So I would propose the first order of business is getting
current master to stable.

Anyway, whichever way we do end up going we can always merge when
necessary, so I'd propose to keep them separate for now.
