A proposal for an always-releasable Debian

Good example (unfortunately). Do not see a reply from Matthias (gtk+ maintainer). Loads of replies, but not much why it cannot be avoided. Seems weird.

I do know that sometimes misuse of the API/ABI and library changes can result in breakage. That is not considered too much of a problem (kernel is way stricter in this). This case, I don't have any clue.
