+We should provide stable versions as much as possible. I would

+Mix development and stable packages in official release seems
+rather... "uncompleted".

+However, if development/unstable packages are provided in official
+release, I think it should be OK to provide stable versions as
+updates. <-- Please correct me if I'm wrong about this part.
