Because i using syskit and the next version is even more unstable than 
master. I had several times that the depandancy between roby/syskit and 
other 'core' packages is hard. So i cannot stay a long time on next and 
only with syskit/roby on master.
Indeed i'm not sure if i can currently use syskit/roby on next and 
everything else on master.

So generally speaking, incompatibilities between 
syskit/roby/utilmm/utilrb/typelib/orogen/ base/types/(std)


The Second point, is that the release cycle to next is to long for new 
features, i i (as  rock-dev) add new features to rock. I take ofter 
months before it goes into next.
Therefore i have (due to the same reasons above) switch to master, also 
for other members of my project. I would prefer a shorter release time 
between master/stable/next...



Best,
Matthias
