I would not be against having development and stable versions, 
but the price is not trivial: every pull request must be done in 
at least two branches, probably diverging significantly. And most 
benefits are already available: we have the git version and the 
last stable version (of course, the latter would be without the 
latest bug-fixes). That would mean slower progress in applying 
existing pull requests. (There are 100+ of those, aren't there?)

Also, nobody is preventing any person that considers this to be 
very important from creating a fork of stable branch and applying 
bug-fixes there. If this happens to be a very useful option, then 
it could be accepted as a policy.

So my point of view is that it might be too early to have such 
policy yet.
