Cooker is the incubator that they develop the next OS release. It is very much cutting edge and could as easy as not have bugs in individual packages. Once they decide that all of the packages that are going to go in the next release have been decided on then the developers start concentrating on bugs. A good stable release will evolve after about the 2nd or third update in my experience and that may be 2 to 5 weeks after the official release.
