        It's stable in the sense that it is guaranteed not to have anything  
that hasn't been tested extensively. But as development moves  
forward, new and improved things cannot be added, since they might  
reduce stability. These changes must wait for a full point release.

        Paul and I have been over this many times, and as you might have  
inferred from my tone, this isn't my ideal solution. I would much  
rather have a few bleeding-edge bugs that we can fix quickly than to  
continuously have to deal with problems being reported on code that  
was udpated several months ago, and reserve point releases for things  
that break compatibility with old code, as the 0.7 release did by  
requiring SQLite.
