Actually, I came to a similar conclusion:
We "only" submit stable versions to mainline (including stability fixes) 
whereas the development stays outside of the official linux tree. That way we 
can keep our development speed without worrying too much about compatibility. 
When we are getting to the next stable release we can think about how to 
soften the transition. 

More ideas / opinions ?
