My understanding is that when the release manager wants people to look
at an alpha or rc release, he or she announces it on sage-release
(maybe sage-devel as well, but not always).

If you are looking through the /home/release folder, anything with a
README.FIRST file that warns you:
"This version of Sage has not officially been released and is very
much
under construction.  There is no point in testing it because the
version
can change any time."
...is not finalized and clearly there is no guarantee that you would
be able to upgrade later.

The latest "stable" release is whatever is listed on the source
download of sagemath.org.  Sometimes this might be a day out of date
but not usually more than that.
