This works for support *after* they have gotten the software, this
should *never* be the case for people who want to download the
software, that choice should *always* be pretty obvious.

If I go to a page to download some software I want, and can't figure
out which version I should use, or at least have some sort of idea
about the choice being made, I consider just giving up on the software.
I'm sure most people are the same.

But you're getting the very definition of stable wrong:

more bugs = less stable

So this really *is* a debate about stable vs unstable. That's not to say
that the younger product is *unstable*, but it does mean that the older
product is *more stable*.
