It is the question you should really ask upstream developers. If the project is stable enough for Debian why they do not rollout a new release? Having project in usable-but-not-released state is confusing. Anyway, an alpha version of 6.04 is pushed to [testing]. The best thing one can do is to test it and make sure all the use-cases you need (e.g. XFS) work correctly. Happy holidays and happy testing.
