I definitely would prefer a Galeon with missing features. But the reason
to remove Galeon was its *instability* (which I did not recognized personally)
and thus the suggestion was to have the stable branch which would bring up
the additional advantage of bringing back those features. That's all.
So *any* Galeon is fine for me with a slight preference of the stable branch.
