Very stable. New, stable releases have been coming out roughly
every 6 to 18 months since 1991, and this seems likely to continue.
Currently there are usually around 18 months between major releases.
With
the introduction of retrospective "bugfix" releases the stability of
existing releases is being improved. Bugfix releases, indicated by a
third component of the version number (e.g. 2.1.3, 2.2.2), are managed
for stability; only fixes for known problems are included in a bugfix
release, and it's guaranteed that interfaces will remain the same
throughout a series of bugfix releases.
The
2.3.3 release is the most stable version at this point in time.
