It has been never required, but binary packages are built on the latest
-STABLE AFAIK, so not being careful about foreward compat incidentally
requires users to chase -STABLE as well.

This may be a problem for -RELEASE users, though this is somewhat
alleviated by the fact the latters surely don't upgrade their 3rd party
packages very often.
every so often.
