I'm seeing -CURRENT as a playground for new features, technologies and support for latest hardware. If something has worked out there, the changes are merged from the -CURRENT tree into the (non-release) -STABLE tree. -STABLE has a broader audience and mistakes will probably being detected there. At a time before RELEASE date the -STABLE tree is being frozen (no new features are allowed to be merged into -STABLE) and after a testing phase (BETA / PRE-RELEASE) the code will be released.
