If you depend on a development version of any library, then you
shouldn't in principle call your release a stable one.

Great, but again, or exo-2 has to be flagged as "stable", or yet it has
to receive more tests. If Whiskermenu flags its exo-2 based releases as
stable and exo-2 itself is no considered as such, then there is
something wrong with Whiskermenu itself... 

Distros are free to ship whatever softwares/libraries versions they want,
that are considered by their own developers to be "development releases".
