If beta versions exists in devel and you update with that repository on, it may pull a beta package over a stable one, since it's version is "newer".  Not to mention namespace conflicts.


This is a useful warning; The "newer" dependency problem can be
negated by using apt pinning:

I *think* (not tried it yet because I'm still waiting for my OTA
update) that you can also configure the maximum cache size used by APT
which may help it it play nicer with rootfs.
