I don’t think so. If you change to stable
, you’ll only update to major releases, and 3.0.0 hasn’t been released yet. The last stable release was 2.8.0 (you can see latest updates in release-notes)
I don’t think Stephen was trying to be funny. Stable
is used in a meaning of a keyword for app.yml
, not as an English word. Reason being, the other (default) keyword, tests-passed
can be described as stable too: it’s unlikely to be broken[1], and in fact, can be more “stable” (English-wise) if you update plugins and/or theme-components more frequently than you wish to update Discourse.
in my 2 years running Discourse, I’ve never had a situation when something was broken because of some fresh commit ↩︎
