My guess is that once -current gets closer to the release date, it becomes
more and more stable.  I guess the period of greatest instability occurs
somewhere about 1/4 to 1/2 through the -current life cycle.  We could do a
chart plotting stability vs. time for the life cycle of a given
-current.  That could help people decide whether or not they want to run
-current.
