I belive that the stable branch is not a proper justification for this.

At least for me, stable is to provide a less moving target. A place where
only tested things get in and all involved transitions are done only when
already done in dev and merged all at same time to avoid a breakage.

This all is not a justification to break the whole World at dev. dev will
be the basis of next stable, and even more, it is the source of changes
for stable. So if we mess it up we'll end up with an very difficult to maintain
stable branch and an unusable dev.
