I hope that I'm not starting this discussion all over again ... I have been supporting ImageMagick for years now, where there are also have no 'stable releases', and I understand that its developers just don't have the manpower to support these.
ImageMagick does have version numbering, but the developers deploy a new version every two weeks or so, and I would not recommend using the newest one (which may have new bugs), unless you have a problem that you cannot solve with the version already installed. What may be confusing for a ffmpeg newbie, is that ffmpeg.org does not provide executables. I guess this is because of patent issues. (It was the same with the MP3 encoder lame for years.) This could possibly be somewhat explained on the ffmpeg website.
