Do you really think I misinterpreted the meaning of -STABLE? *I* think 
most people misinterprete -STABLE because the first thing that comes to 
mind is runtime stability. The same issue exists in the GNU/Debian Linux 
world: Debian stable doesn't mean that the system run always rock-solid 
and works perfectly, but rather the state of software is stable, i.e. 
maintainers ensure 100% compatibility between updates.
