Stable means "The kernel won't fall over and we won't break existing API's",
It doesn't mean "No new code"
Take a look at the device drivers that were added to 2.0 over it's life for example.
devfs doesn't change anything for existing apps. It just adds a lot of new
functionality.
(It's also well tested).
