Not for everyone... the fact that the new feature of 'inline editing of 
Input fields' is BROKEN (regression) when it comes to pasting into it, 
the entire 4.2.x line has been totally unusable to us (and many others 
who rely on this capability).

Still? Fresh? Mature? Toddler? Teenager?

This is not just nonsense, it is insanity.

Do it like Debian:

4.2.x = Stable

4.3.x = Testing

Then move on to more important things - like fixing the above mentioned 
bug so a large segment of users can actually use these newer 'stable' 
versions.
