The difference is that stable release features not change except
in case of emergency, so you can upgrade from one stable Postfix
version to the next without having to reconfigure Postfix. And when
features do have to change, there is a great deal of backwards
compatibility.
The snapshot releases introduce new features, and those can still
change in incompatible ways. For example, postscreen is a prototype
that I threw together in a few weeks so that I could present some
new measurements at a conference. Once this program is finished
sites will almost certainly need to update configuration files.
