I guess most people using OE are old enough to know better about their
own interests.

Obviously, you can push a changeset to master, wait for someone to
complain about a bug, fix the bug, wait for silence, merge it into 2011.03.

Would you prefer experimental changesets in 2011.03?

P.S.: I'd really like to switch to oe-core, but at this time it's
impossible. I'm not multithreaded. Closing master won't make me switch
faster, but just annoy me. You'll just force me to keep any bugfixes and
enhancements in my own layer, so that no other body can benefit from them.
