Always true for any new feature you want to use.  Wait until there's a
stable release with that feature, then migrate forward.

Maintaining someone else's package in a distro is not the same as
developing those packages in the first place.  And 1200 people is WAY
BIGGER than the geda developer community.

And nine women can have a baby in a month, but the math just isn't
relevent.  The raw ratio of packages to maintainers has nothing to do
with how hard it is for a tiny team to manage multiple release/test
repositories.

Perhaps I was not clear - it doesn't matter how much testing we do,
stuff is going to break and not get found until release anyway.
