I tend to agree, and that’s why I left it like this on -current.

For stable, I could see both sides. If I made the test strictly <, then
it would effectively always build on the most common scenario
of building stable on stable. I opted to include a comment about
the window on -stable. I also plan on removing it after a few months
since this window was so short relatively to the release cycle. Several
folks had comments about this issue, which is why I went ahead and
put the seat belts in place, at least for now.
