branches like stable/3.9 are also just development branches. They are 
development branches of stable (already released versions), where as in 
trunk also new features are added.

It would mean another extra step while developing. At the moment fixes 
to trunk are immedeately merged to stable/*. Adding another testing 
branch would create considerable overhead. 

Instead on updating from SVN's stable branches between releases, you 
perhaps should consider doing it only when a release is made. However, 
you might then of course not always immediately have the latest fixes. 
Only in a release the "stableness" can be guaranteed at the moment.
