Yes, the master will also add new features and since it is not a
official release may contain bugs. 

So the main proposal is to use the official version of systemd with
backport fixes (stable branch).

In the end we will get the release 219 version with the fixes which is
really good and it'll be more secure.

When the version 220 is released we can change the branch to master with
SRCREV pointing for the release and later we can do the same thing that
I'm trying to do. To add backport fixes for the current version by using
the branch stable or patch files.
