Well, the 'next' branch is supposed to be a testing ground of stuff,
but if they don't get attention and have some deficiencies they won't
be promoted to the 'master' branch (which btw is not strictly "stable"
because they can contain small new tweaks, but that obviously don't
break my own laptop).

So it depends, they are there as an attempt to show what things
can be done, what are the ideas in progress etc. A low latency
place to put things where they will not be easily forgotten.

But with Martin's debianization thing, that should be easier for you
to test.

In particular you could take a look at the patch adding a config
option to avoid workspace switching, because you were upset about
firefox changing the workspace for the "search" thing.

I don't know about that, and it is not like there are many bugs fixes
after all. There are small things happening here and there, you can
stay updated with 'git pull' and do the testing if something new
appears and report back as your motivation permits.

It all pretty much depends on what everybody is doing on the list.
