The way we have been doing releases does not coincide well with how we have been utilizing our stable branch. Given that we release from master, and that many people in the community use master on a daily basis, it makes more sense for stable to always match the latest released version, and for master to include unreleased changes which are considered "stable". For experiments, we should instead use a feature branch per experiment until we are confident that it is ready to be merged into master.
