Well, the latest and stable CentOS 6.5 with EPEL 6.8 suggests me to install R14 (R14B-04.3.el6), not R15 or R16 and I wouldn't be so sure for others "stable" distros. Also shouldn't forget about production environments where R14 is already used for some reasons and upgrade isn't available. -- ,,,^..^,,,
