Bugs (sometimes rather old) have been found and fixed in stable
versions of MySQL before. The same is true of the Linux Kernel. That
doesn't change the fact (in either case) that the developers are
confident enough in their work to label the code "stable".
I'd say their track record (and the thousands of satisfied users)
says a lot about their judgment.
Some may not agree with it, but that is how they've done things.
