Yes, exactly! And it *is* frustrating to new users and sends out a bad
message. Sure, *we* know you are being careful. Those who are first
being exposed to the project however come away with an impression of
chaos and lack of structure. Then when they do hit a bug, they are all
the more likely to throw up their hands and quit.

I still do not see why, given the above, we should not use more
branches. Something needs to be done because the present system is not
working to produce a stable documented api that behaves in a predictable
( and thus debuggable ) manner for new users.
