But the effect is the same, of course.

What's the difference? It's  just  a  change  of  name.  Each  tagged
version in the CVS represents an "unstable" release.

It is unstable for some boards / architectures only.  My  idea  of  a
development  tree  is  that  I  try  to  avoid  breaking working code
whenever possible.
