Hi :) How do new users know what the difference is between the 2 branches? Clearly it is not so easy for new people to figure it out otherwise we wouldn't keep on having to answer this same question from so many new users.
As a longer-term users i feel sufficiently experienced to know which branch i prefer but how is a new user expected to know the difference? Also if we are expecting the new users to do all the bug-finding and bug-testing for us who are they doing it for? Who benefits from all the bug-fixing done by these new users?
