That (IMO), doesn't mean "commit code which isn't ready", or "develop here"
like it was a CVS repository...

Clearly, master is always more likely to have bugs, as a result of
integration of new features (patch commit or merge - whatever), but I think
it is always best to TRY and keep master in a state where we expect it
works, and expect we COULD branch a release from it.
