Stable does indeed mean "feature freeze", or only the importing of
features which have shown to be properly working. Kind of the MFC
(Merge From Current) from the *BSD world. Except that it seems more
fixing of bugs than importing of stable features (MacroExit, "n"
extension in DialPlan etc :-)

But just because it is prefered to be fixing of bugs doesn't mean
they aren't in there....

Personally, I wouldn't mind having an "unstable" release which had
the new features from HEAD in it which have shown their 2 cents in
the last couple of weeks. And no, I'm not willing to run HEAD on
my systems :-)
