More accurately, I suggest the project could be moved forward by _adding_ another tier, which would fill in the hole called "missing possibility to have quick-moving partly-stable branch" by implementing less-strong maintainership focused on contributors and not only project leaders. But yes, we both want more or less the same, but differ in our opinion how to get there. Your opinion is primarily based on your experience with other projects like midnight commander while my opinion is primarily based on the mutts community attitude (i.e. polite, conscious and self-skills-aware behavior with the goal "improve" mutt, but not to destroy it nor make it more messy) from the last years.
