It depends what definition of "stable" you mean, i.e. as bug-free or as non-changing. Sure, each release of spyder introduces its lot of bug-fixes but also new features and enhancements which are likely to introduce regressions. For instance, the recent breakage of code completion with Jedi comes to my mind (thanks Carlos for fixing it for 3.1.4). Or maybe provide an automatic PPA that builds Spyder from tags? > This could be a good idea and should be quite straightforward to deploy. You can start with the current Debian packaging [1], use the Ubuntu backportpackage utility [2] to rebuild spyder and necessary dependencies for Ubuntu 16.04, and push the resulting packages to an "official" PPA on Launchpad [3]. I won't do it personally, as maintaining the official Debian packaging is time consuming enough, but feel free to have a go and get in touch.
