> Yeah, -STABLE is what you should run if you want stable code, right?
No. STABLE means STABLE API.
If you want stable code you run releases. Between releases
stable can become unstable. Think of stable as permanent
BETA code. Changes have passed the first level of testing
in current which is permanent ALPHA code.
Most of the time beta code is perfectly fine to run but
occasionally things will go wrong. The point of BETA code
is to catch those errors that escape detection in the ALPHA
stage before they make it into a release. That is done by
having a wider diversity of clients run the BETA code.
Occasionally you have bugs that make it through both the ALPHA
and BETA stages.
