With this approach you have a branch based on oi_148, where only a small 
number of packages are maintained. This sounds like a good plan to get a 
release of something that is not dev, but I would not call this "stable".

oi_148 works fine from my experience, but "release" or 
"release_candidate" are IMHO better names.
