<p>OK s/w development is like that. BTDT. Alphas have a funny way of
often providing interesting surprises. Betas less so but it still
happens. Which is the appeal of stable releases - they're least
likely to surprise. The operative word here is "least". The
question, then, is how often does a release with a reasonable
chance of not surprising the user show up? I assume there's a
"hey, folks, this one is stable" post here. <br>

that I don't have <br>
in the release I use. But I prefer not to do alpha or beta
testing if I <br>
can avoid it. So... how often does a stable release come
out?<br>
