Actually it's not particularly interesting.

A common mistake.

So if the mail had been properly directed to -stable only in the first
place, you never would have entered into the equation.

That's great, but you still won't be using -Stable.

And many such data points have already been discussed, on the -Stable
mailing list, where all the developers who deal with -Stable hang out,
read the mail, etc. This isn't a federal offense, and it _is_ a common
mistake. I am merely attempting to point out that your (pl.)
justifications are not valid.
If you are interested in tracking this problem you should subscribe to
-stable, which is a low-volume list most of the time. I'm afraid you
won't get any sympathy from us as to how much mail you get per day.
Good luck,
Doug
