Thomas,

We all know we _can_ do this. But is it really necessary? We should be 
all as lazy as possible and make it easy for users IMHO. `git pull` is 
easier :)

I don't see any drawback of using a development branch, except if you 
consider the extra push to master per release a drawback.

Also think about new users downloading the repo for the first time. They 
are forced to do this right now if they want to checkout the latest stable.
