Anyone can use 2.5.x.

If you send mail to this list and ask for a stable release
you will be referred to a 2.4.x release since that is the stable
branch.

Probably some of the 2.5.x releases are more stable than other 2.5.x
releases, but I don't think anyone knows which ones are more stable and
which ones aren't. When a 2.5.x release is created it's almost always done
with a source tree that we think works well.

In my opinion, the only 2.5.x release that it makes sense to use is
the latest one.

All thru the 2.5.x release I've run from CVS and I've had very
few problems. I don't think that makes it stable through.
