What would be stable in the =E2=80=9Cstable branch=E2=80=9D, packages or Gu=
ix?  :-)

A branch where Guix itself is stable would be nice, though it would need
careful merging from master regularly.

A branch where packages are stable (=C3=A0 la Debian stable) would be too
much work (I=E2=80=99m even skeptical it makes any sense given that many
declared and undeclared security vulnerabilities get patched everytime a
piece of software is released=E2=80=A6).
