It is simply not true. CURRENT shall never be knowingly put into a state
where it cannot be used for the 'production-grade' use, whatever it
means. We do accept changes are so disruptive that some unknown fallout
is expected, since otherwise developers cannot make any significant
progress.

But introducing known breakage is simply not acceptable. Doing so shrinks
the already limited testing base we have for HEAD.
