Hi Andzrej,
thank you, I see your point but I'm afraid I must disagree with you.
I've had this situation numerous times that I have added/fixed
something in the devel branch of a package and had to advice the users
to use this latest version. Needless to say, they were typically using
the release branch, and it was a relatively painless procedure for
them to pick the tarball from the devel landing page and proceed with
manual installation. Of course, this could be also achieved by
installing from the svn, however, this is not very welcome from the
user's perspective.

I'm not sure I understand to need to mix devel and release.  If there is a bug in the release branch, it should be also patched there.  And if users need the features of the devel branch, they would have to switch to devel anyway.
