I agree with Kama.  I specificly switched once to stable for pre-release testing purpose.  I saw email from one of the developers claiming that not many people join pre-release testing. (I do not remember whether it was not many people join BETA testing or RC testing. Anyway, I saw it in one of the quota issue e-mail chain on 6.1-RELEASE.)

If we are not in such a stage, I personally prefer to stick with releases.
