At

we read:
"Source releases and patches
The development tarballs available in the HTTP archive are sometimes not
suitable for production work, but the dev team produces development
tarballs to provide users with specific needs the ability to get
semi-stable software with important, new features that may not be
available in the stable tree."
Considering the comment, dates and sizes, shouldn't we move to dev, too?
I don't think so. What new features are in the -dev tarball? If it's
important enough, then why don't they release a new stable tarball?
