I also think the change was a good one and that it will help us create a more
stable environment for our users (and us). Now we can have fun in devel,
adding
things willy nilly (such as my grub update to linux, which may or may not wipe
out your boot loader [it's off by default, though] :)), xfree86 4.9.xx, which
doesn't compile for everyone, playing around with module-init-tools for 2.6
(which made my system unable to load modules for a bit ;)), etc. These are
the
kind of things we /need/ to be able to work on in an environment where we
won't
disturb the users (unless they /try/ to get devel, then they deserve what they
get :)), and once things are smoothed over, we can pull the changes into test,
and from there into stable.

Our simpleinit system (which is awesome!) is another good example, we now have
the leasure time to make the fixes we need to get it working without worrying
about needing to help users fix their systems after a messup. Once we're sure
the system is done (any ETA on that?) and upgrades without a hitch (from us
testing the upgrade), then we can pull those changes into test.
