What I'd propose is one additional "track".

Basically:

 -current (all the latest greatest experimental).
 -stable (all the latest gretest "Stable" stuff).
 -missioncritical (conservative release, once a year or so - only bug
fixes after release).

The problem is that -stable is not necessarily "General Deployment".

The difference between -stable and "-missioncritical" would be that
-stable gets new features - and -missioncritical gets more stable.
