This is fine as long as we know we cannot move from testing to stable  when 
stable is based on 8.1  and testing is based on 8.2  things  may be ok  but 
differences in the toolchain could result in everything including the kitchen 
sync being brought in.

that is why i proposed that each stable tree  has its own testing branch.
