I would like to second this point. Please don't call anything stable. In Debian world, stable means that 1/ It won't crash, 2/ You are free from worrying about OS reinstallation or upgrades for a long time and 3/ Updating is a BAD thing. With ASU we only have 1/ Moreover, the "stable" word is already preempted. To be technically precise, ".stable" is the name of a familly of subbranches in the git. For the rest of the list subscriber's: Patches land in org.openmoko.$(release_name).dev, go through org.openmoko.$(release_name).testing, and finally reach org.openmoko.$(release_name).stable from where packages are made Reusing that word for anything else than a subbranch tag is confusing. And everybody is confused enough, as you rightly noticed. Please empathize with the pain of the documentation team. Without clear names we can't make clear explanations. Leave "stable" out.
