Stable according to whose definition ?

If you with 'stable' means 'well tested and suitable for production
use', that is true for all MySQL releases, including most alpha
releases :)

If you compare MySQL release scheme to many other products, you will
see that a stable version recommended to be used by other products,
this is close to what we call beta here at MySQL.
