Which is where branches like in debian help you. There are some problems
however. A big one is dependencies e.g. packages A and B use package C,
and need a specific version. A and B of stable use C version 1.2 and
the ones in devel 2.0. Now you want to use the devel version of A on
your stable system and have to use the devel versions of A, B and C.
Replace C with e.g. gtk and you see the problem.
