ARRRRGH! Guys, who's breaking -STABLE's GMIRROR code?!

[Mark Andrews]

> 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.
