You can't get a little bit preganant. If the new version really was
stable, all the tens of thousands of app maintainers would have made
sure it works with it.
This is becoming rather similar to using released versions versus
internal versions when I worked at Microsoft.
The released version was always ancient and we'd shake our heads at
those poor "customers" who were stuck with the older, less capable
version, while for years we'd been using the newer thing and of course
all significant work required using the unreleased version.
Ubuntu : Debian Stable :: IDS Build of Windows : Windows
Debian Unstable :: Daily Build of Windows, except it mostly works
whereas most daily builds of windows were unusable.
