Yes, having a stable that's simply one week behind has no value. Then
people could just as well not sync to the latest code base. Downstream
projects (declarative is downstream from qtbase) need to be able to follow
bleeding edge (e.g. in the CI). But you don't want to have to recompile
the whole stack every two hours.
