Development of U-Boot happens pretty fast. _Many_ people  contribute,
and DENX is running quite a lot of projects, too.

There has never been a forma declaration of whatis  stable  and  what
not.   Normally   you   can  consider  each  version  tagges  with  a
U-Boot-X_Y_Z label as "stable".

I am aware of this problem. There is little I can do about it. But  I
regularly put tarballs of the "minor releases" on our FTP server; see
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/

Well, we're preparing for something, but it will take a  little  more
time.

Has there ever been any "stable" software? Isn't "stable software" an
oxymoron per se?
