Hi Adam,
Yes, on Linux one has to choose between Nightly/Stable if using the
PPA. The other option is building KiCad yourself, which I can do, but
many can't/won't. I was not sure of the situation on other OS's if you
can install Nightly/Stable simultaneously on Mac, then its more reason
why the Linux distributions should follow suit.

Strontium,
I assume you are talking about linux based on the word PPA, but mostly
for other people on the list, you can do this with the MacOS KiCad.

This is a question for the distribution maintainers,
Is it possible to change the distribution PPA's (etc) so that one can
install the nightly and the stable version of kicad, simultaneously?
When things like file format versions change then people have to make a
choice, do I run nightly and lose backward compatibility OR do I run stable
and lose newer features/the ability to test. It would be handy to be able
to have Stable installed to do real work, and nightly also installed for
testing, or for boards where you really want access to a new feature early.

For your information: support for long pad and pin names has been just
merged. As the change affects both eeschema and pcbnew, and may result
in files that are not loaded correctly with older versions - the file
format versions had to be incremented.
