There's a bunch of people who seem to manage it just fine.

Yes, if the absolutely latest master doesn't work, people can just check
out whatever version was working for them last and continue without
waiting for the next snapshot from ELPA /which may or may not work).

It doesn't get any easier than it already is. Having both a stable and
an unstable version of Org avilable via ELPA is a non-starter for the
simple reason that the package manager can't deal with the versioning
problems this would introduce.
