It makes sense, but it's not quite as easy as in the case of GNOME. The schedules of the various components are different and so they move from devel to stable at different points in time and it's difficult to pick a set of packages that will work together. For example if pkg A in devel requires the devel version of pkg B, but pkg C only works with the stable version of pkg B. It all depends on how stable the interfaces are. OTOH, I'm sure many packages won't even have devel versions. So we can give this a try but people need to be careful with the devel packages. Laca
