Hmm.  We might want to review that further.  I wonder if the terminology 
is the same as OpenLDAP's release strategy, where 'stable' is long since 
mature code that doesn't have any new features, which in turn breaks 
other 'stable' software.  They had a 5.9 branch and then released 5.10 
from it.  Was 5.8 the testing version before 5.10 was released?
