Stable branch is very important for production use and should incorporate
bug fixes and security patches, but not feature enhancements. The extent
of support and maintenance for stable should be one major release prior to
the latest release (not current), i.e., since 4.x-RELEASE is the latest,
then 3.x-STABLE hould be supported with bug fixes and security patches
until a 5.x-RELEASE is out.

Does this seem unreasonable?		-=r=-
