I am not proposing the release of a "stable" release of Freenet, rather a release which is known to be buggy (hence the existence of "RELEASE_NOTES" files), but which with compatability will be retained while those bugs are fixed (I would say for at least 12 months). The datastore bugs can be fixed without breaking protocol compatability with previous node versions.
