This is an invalid argument with respect to Crossfire because crossfire
hardly ever does stable releases. The open source mantra is release
early and release often but the last crossfire stable release was 
client 1.1..  That was what? 6 months ago? And before that it was like
a year or something since 1.0 was released?

Crossfire should absolutley have a stable branch and a development branch.
I'm clueless about CVS but I know with perforce it is pretty
easy to merge changes into another branch.
