I haven't worked it out yet. For now, I will freeze the "stable" as it is and do development in _unstable
Once in a while (about weekly?) I plan copying it over if it proves to be stable. I was thinking that regular development would happen in _unstable, yes.

I have little experience in branching with multiple developers, so I appreciate feedback and recommendations.
