Yes, on the other hand, if you reach a stable version and stop
adding features then you can focus on and reach maturity... Then
leave the new features to the unstable version.
If you keep adding features to a stable branch then maturity is
perpetually out of reach. I think Go gained a lot of ground from
focusing on maturity over features.
