My 2 cents: From a beginners perspective, limiting to the latest (stable) release makes sense as a long list of various versions and tests with only some number and date in a small font / embedded in the file name to differentiate them could be very confusing. Perhaps there is a good middle ground where the option can be enabled by default but the latest, say 2-3 releases are listed with "stable" and "test" better marked? Or perhaps this is the new default behavior and the checkbox is reversed as in it becomes "Show all versions of a library"?
Don't forget that just because you get used to something, doesn't mean that's the best approach or that's the way it has to stay.
