Plasma Active has switched to an "always stable Master, plus not-necessaril=
y-
stable Integration branch" model in our current development cycle ( =

http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2013/01/plasma-active-stable-devel-and-
bleeding.html ) for the same reasons it is suggested here.

We suggest to people who want to have new features fast but still need =

stability to use the Master branch/packages, whereas the development team =

itself and some users who volunteered for testing use the Integration =

branch/packages.

Plasma Active currently isn't exactly "stable" even in development images =

using Master, but that is mainly because these images use Master form other =

KDE projects and those are currently causing most of the trouble, which isn=
't =

an issue for Calligra (Calligra users don't have to run Master of all KDE =

software for Calligra Master to work). Our Master/Integration tandem as suc=
h =

seems to work pretty well so far, so I can recommend that.
