I think that stable releases mark the revisions you should _never_ use.
It is unfortunate, but there is some reason for that: Nix-related
projects are stable between inflows of fresh ideas but then there is no
milestone to declare release; when there is a milestone, there is a lot
of small changes before and after, so you get what you may want to
exchange for a trunk-head.
