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. I recall a few people on 
this list making that point about certain aspects of the GUI... :)
