Not necessarily. Abritrarily marking a particular point in time as
"stable" is probably not effective. I think the other proposals in the
thread about branching out the release line and applying critical
patches to it would give a stable branch without the risk of the stable
tag applying to something not really stable. As it stands, mythtv CVS
is very stable a great percentange of the time. I run CVS all the time
in my house and have really no issues with it related to comitted
patches. Then again, I watch the commit list, keep up on the dev
discussion, and know when something got checked in that is likely to
break things.
