For me, as long as there is no monetary value attached to an application there is very little support or caring about its outcome.

I think Nokia was trying to do that polish with the Tableteer default interface. They are not quite there yet though. Debian splits things up into stable and unstable. Redhat has a Rawhide to house development work separately from the finished product.

Your request for separation of developing project from stable project is quite reasonable and has a lot of precedent in the Open Source world. That separation was lost with the migration to the new application website (with a lot of other good stuff gained). I suppose the separation is supposed to be between Garage and Applications on Maemo but it is not obvious since not all Applications are developed in the Garage.
