Hi, Koji, Here is the criteria I use: (i) How do we determine how many releases to show on the front download page? We usually keep two most recent releases on the front page according to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/HowToRelease.
(ii) How do we determine which release is considered 'stable' ? Here "stable" means passing all tests, peer reviewed. It does not mean production "stable". Actually there is no way for us to know production "stable" after user download it, use it and gives feedback. That's why we will continue fixing bugs after major release. and make minor releases.
