Over the years I've still wondered why its named -STABLE, when its not the 
most stable branch at all.
I like debians way of expressing this, with "unstable".

New users get fooled into running -STABLE just because it says -STABLE. They 
dont know what they are going into, and lets face it, no, they dont use the 
handbook or the docs, they just simply do what their friends tell them to 
do.

Maybe this subject is a little far ahead in the future, but I really beg you 
core people to not name it STABLE.

DragonFly does not and will not follow the same MFC method that lead to 
this. The releases from DragonFly should be able to follow a standard 
dictation of a revision release number. There is no reason for anything 
else as the point of being a stable operating system should be more than 
innate.
