Quoting Robert Schweikert
I think GNOME is a good example but the same problem applies to many other devel projects.
Of course this applies to many other areas.. I mainly use GNOME as I have most knowledge in this area and can mostly assess on how bad it behaves / breaks other stuff. Any project that has development branches and stable branches will be similarly to be handled.
I also think that neither A or B as proposed by Richard are solutions to the problem described by Dominique.
The changes in wording from "stable" to "usable" would definitely be necessary, but this is also a very slippery slope. A bug that breaks functionality in a given way may not effect one person and thus the system is "usable" while it will leave another person completely stuck, thus the system is "not usable". Therefore, even the "usable" definition appears to open up a can of worms.
Agree... after all, there is always a number of bugs being reported after a different userbase starts using it. So despite group '1' not having had issues and considering 'usable' (or even stable), group '2' starts working on it, experiences crashes, hangs and general failures..
