It would imply that OI servers have automatic updates turned on and that 
is not exactly the case I think.

It would imply that we need reviving producing /dev releases, because 
updating to Hipster and rolling-release model is not for production 
ready quality, and/or not working/not caring about updating from /dev. 
(Manpower, manpower manpower)

Maybe on one hand OI need a funding place where anyone wanting something 
could chop in some cash so it could be spent on something important, 
infrastructure, etc.

And we need SOME release structure for /dev , made of people willing to 
do that,
*starting with people who last time produced /dev and under their guidance*
(and using latest updates in Hipster, that could be used, without 
breaking dependencies and production process and intoducing new bugs).
