The first question is who is going to maintain "bugfix" branch? Even now 
nobody watches CVE issues for software in /hipster.
For example, it seems that at least our dhcp and dns servers are 
vulnerable (e.g, look at CVE-2014-0591).

The second question is if /hipster in a shape which can require only 
"bugfix" changes.
Don't lie to itself, it's not ready to become "/stable". We even can't 
build Hipster
from scratch now. I'd rather think  that perhaps Jon Tibble could 
declare /dev new /stable,
but /dev also is not in  a  proper shape to become bugfix-only release
(In current state perhaps it would mean always-out-of-date release).
