regardless of what was written in a wiki somewhere, it is a bit =
aggressive I think.

there are a fair number of automated things that link to the former =
stable releases that are now broken as they weren't given a grace period =
to cut over.=20

not the end of the world or anything. just a bit of a disconnect to =
reference something labeled stable where the reference itself isn't. too =
bad there isn't some 'stable' link that itself is updated to the actual =
stable release.

we do this now with all of the cascading artifacts. it prevents =
automated things from breaking immediately.

remain as the "stable" version.
