Ah, OK, I think I understand now.

Discourse 2.0.0.beta3 is production ready - it’s what we’re running right here on Meta and for our customers. If you’re looking for Discourse 2.0.0 `stable`, you’ll need to wait a few months. Keep in mind that `stable` is not guaranteed to be more “stable” than `tests-passed` - it is simply updated less frequently and therefore you get a controlled set of bugs, but not necessarily less bugs. See [Which branch of Discourse is used internally? - #2 by jomaxro](https://meta.discourse.org/t/which-branch-of-discourse-is-used-internally/75181/2) for more details.
