You ate stating facts. I do not disagree with them.

But what do you want to say with that? Do you believe that because it is 
feature freeze it is not unstable even though it is an uneven number?

Or do you propose that we, if following only a single branch, follow the 
newest upstream branch no matter if that is stable or unstable?

Or...?
