Fixing in master and cherry picking is easier for my work flow; I don't have a setup as sophisticated as what Brian and Keith mention, even though I test/build on 6 or so machines regularly. Plus I think it makes more sense; I don't like to merge changes to the stable branch unless they've been tested a bit, since causing regressions is so easy. Committing to stable first increases the chance that the stable branch will be broken regularly, imo. It also makes it much easier to just commit fixes as you go when developing a new feature or doing testing, without interrupting, switching to another directory or whatever, and potentially changing out some other components due to feature mismatch (e.g. X server due to protocol or interface changes). For better or worse (based on the rest of this thread), it sounds like stable is missing a lot of fixes and development it would otherwise get, due to the development model we have today.
