+You are only speculating of possible bugs that could appear with these
+new features, but we are talking about 151 *confirmed* bugs, from
+which 44 are crashes that also for sure, will make someone loose their
+work and make him angry at us. Also those 6 new features seem minor
+and more of a cosmetic nature for most of them, I don't think they can
+introduce any serious bug like a crash.

+
+Even so backports were open I think that because of the huge amount of
+bug fixes this version should be push as an update instead of a
+backport.

+
+Of course no one expects to loose work, but in your same line of
+thought, actual users of our version of kdenlive also don't expect to
+loose their work because of a crash if there's a fix available and we
+aren't providing it.
