it's not "stable"

"stable" in this case means that it doesn't change often. Debian stable is called that because no major version changes are performed during the entire cycle of a release.

It doesn't mean "stable" as in "never crashes", although Debian is good at that too.

Arch is definitely not "stable" using that definition!

Yeah, I know the definition. I knew someone would quote it verbatim, someone always does. I quoted it because it's not the word I would use. I like scheduled or versioned releases better but someone always disagrees with me. As far as I've seen it's a major/minor version release cycle anyway.
