It seems to me the only people who would know which compilers deserve the "stable" label are the folks using dmd on a daily basis to build their software. Yet I've never seen the question come up here or anywhere else of what version of D the users find to be the most stable. My impression is frankly that Walter just arbitrarily slaps the label on a rev that's about 10 steps back from current. Probably there's more to it than that, but that's what it seems like.
The current "stable" D1 is that way because it's the one that people supplied me with a bundled version that has the major libraries specifically tested and working with it.
I think that is a fairly reasonable definition of it.
