I do hope that OM will go the stable-branch way. We all know and accept
that .dev is a fast-moving target. I believe it is almost impossible to
create a high-quality stable image and feed from it.

Also a stable branch frees up developer-time as devs no longer need to
worry about .dev's bug-of-day caused by $random-commit.
