Master is unstable in both models; releases are done from stable branches.
This might be one of the fundamental (pun intended) misunderstandings here. It is the opposite of everything I ever heard or read, and I think I know why:
How can one (expect to) fork a 'stable' branch from an 'unstable' one? How can one grow a tree (of branches) from an unstable foundation and expect it to be stable?
The branch stable or release (or even development) branches are forked off must itself be stable, and measurements must be taken to ensure this, or the whole tree will be unstable an eventually fall apart (I'm afraid that's what happened with Client 7.8).
