xfdesktop - Stable or Dev?

I've noticed that these packages (xfdesktop and libxfce4ui) recently got upgraded to 4.13 in the Extra repository.

As posted here, all Xfce 4.13 versions are considered development versions until 4.14.

Would it be possible to get a comment from the package maintainer (or anyone else) on this? Is the inclusion of these packages in the Extra repository intentional? Shouldn't all 4.13 versions be available only in the testing repository, as suggested in the above topic?

Thank you.

Archlinux testing repository is not intended for software that may stay there for a long time.

upgpkg: xfdesktop 4.13.3-1
- Bump to development release targeting Xfce 4.14.
- Re-enable thunarx support.
- Remove decade-old xfce4-menueditor replace.

Maybe thunarx support is worth it to switch to a development relese ?
You could try emailing the maintainer foutrelis

I couldn't reach him. No reply to my e-mail. I don't know if Thunar problems are related with these changes or not.
