I don't know what you call "stable versions" but if you are talking about  
2.18: the stable versions are supposed to be the _result_, not the starting  
point of ironing out problems.  The purpose of development versions is not  
to accumulate unresolved problems but rather provide a starting point where  
features can get a real-world testing _after_ they are considered in a  
state suitable for wider distribution.

If a programming error is an indication of an unexpected/unresolved  
condition, it is not particularly reassuring when the graphics turn out  
inconspicuous.  For one thing, one does not know whether the result  
corresponds to the intended result with regard to all parameters (like beam  
slope).  For another, anything that could equally well be wrong will likely  
be wrong under some different starting conditions.

Which is exactly what happened triggering this issue, so it is overly  
optimistic to assume that this won't happen.
