this means that no library can depend of features of another library, which is not part of the stable release or am i missing something?

Yes. X/develop can't depend on Y/develop, only on Y/master. ----------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IMHO, that should be displayed in the guidelines in bold.

If library X depends on library Y and needs some feature/fix of library Y in order to correctly implement some feature/fix of library X it seems to me that library X/develop can rely on library Y/develop, at least for individual testing of library X. Holding off the feature/fix of library X until Y/develop becomes Y/master seems a PITA to me. I know for my individual testing if my library X/develop needs something from library Y/develop I pull from library Y/develop in order to test. In this scenario library X needs to wait for library Y/develop to go to library Y/master before it goes to library X/master.
