Agreed 100%, and put another way, -stable should *only* ever get patches
that are *stable*, and experimental code can be initially tested separately
before it is added to -dev.  And there comes a time in each -dev where we
have a "feature freeze" and only allow patches for bugs, and perhaps a bit
later, only blocking bugs.
