One other point no-one has mentioned: even if Junio were to be doing more stabilisation than normal in a project (and I don't think he is), version control software is one of those things like a filesystem where paying attention to stability is really important. Unlike a buggy music player (say), a buggy git could destroy everything up to your last backup.

I appreciate all the work everyone in the community is currently doing on stabilisation.
