The "we" part is presumptuous in this case.
* FreeRADIUS has no notion of a "stable release". Many projects
That is matter of definition. My definition of the "stable release" is that bleeding edge 3.x snapshot that still appears to be stable about 6 months in the future. And yes, that's right, it means that whatever is "stable" will not be known until about 6 months after it has been "published". This mechanism works just fine for anyone running it in production servers or needing to wrap it in a distribution package.
I humbly would suggest the following:
* Create and maintain a "stable" version.
That is already being done, just adjust your definition.
* Organize a rigorous beta test program.
Well, sounds like a plan. Does that mean you are volunteering to organise it? -- Stephen. Confidence is that feeling you have before you understand the situation.
