I think most/all are using toolchain-2.5, so pushing something to master
will only affect people who know what they are doing. I'm pushing/testing
new features on master too, so I don't see any problem of short periods of
danger/instability on master. Having it in there for a while is the only
way to get to a next major release.

Personnaly, I am only using 'master', but most of Onera users are on
toolchain-2.5
