Yes, this is one of the challenges of upstream, downstream
relationships.  Upstreams release according to the mantra "early and
often."  Downstreams deploy according to the mantra "Seldom and
stable."

Eventually, we will get this worked out.  The big thing is for:
1. Sugar Labs to focus on innovating.
2. OLPC (and other oems) to focus on stabilizing those innovations
into a series of hardened products.
3. Deployments to focus on deploying and supporting their customer base.

I always go through the Volunteer Infrastructure Group when working
with OLPC on infrastructure stuff.
