I agree we can't drop the testing standards on the "stable" branches. 
I'm not in favor of that. I'd rather use differently-named branches with 
different and well-documented policies. Ideally the branches would be 
named something like driver-fixes/newton and driver-fixes/ocata, etc, to 
avoid confusion with the stable branches.
