I agree with the versioning comment, it was a lot easier to track potential problems as a user when we had and even/odd split between stable and dev. BTW using 'we' was intentional I just broke my box dist-upgrading from dapper.  Everything I needed worked fine last week.  :-)  When you're on the bleeding edge expect to get cut. Linus says that kernel development is now "smoother" without the separate trees. I'm sure that is true. It would be even "smoother" if all of us users would just switch to Windows for a few years. If you stop worrying about breaking things of course you can make more progress in the long run:-) The problem with not upgrading is that with each "upgrade" they manage to slip in at least one minor thing that I want to have, in spite of the trouble that always causes. The SVN tree has the same problem, there are just enough improvements to make it worth the effort for a lot of us.
