I may have raised this before, but perhaps it would be better to move to
the Debian model on the download page.

Stable    2.0.17
Testing   2.1.50
Unstable  2.1.51

I also think the text at the top of the page is a little misleading:

"Most people will want to download the stable release"

Almost the first answer that anyone gets when posting a question to the
list about 2.0.17 is that they should upgrade to the (quite stable
really, despite the name, honest guv'ner!) 2.1.xx series.
