Current ubuntu development branch is not a 'real' release. Surely it can
break and people cannot even complain too much :). That's why gnome CVS
is in current ubuntu devel and it's normal. And I would only do this if
assured that 4.4 gets out before April otherwise it's as you say,
snapshot + stabilize.

Works well enough for me too, but it is not yet 'released' enough to be
widely tested. Having it in a devel distro may help, it doesn't seem
like it has so many known bugs as to be too early for user feedback.
