Hi :) The difference is that Charles is saying that both branches are as stable as each other.
Florian was saying that new users have to do the bug-finding on the "Fresh" branch in order to help it become more stable. Florian's seems to explain what we find on this mailing list = that new users and magazine articles grumbling about bugs and issues quickly settle down when we suggest they move to the "Still" branch. Some then come back and ask why they weren't pointed to the more stable branch in the first place.
