That does not mean that 3.3 is somehow unstable. It is supposed to be 
generally usable and not dangerous. But of course there are always some 
bugs. That's why every $major.$minor release gets its "stable" branch 
with backported fixes.

...-- 3.2 --- 3.3-rc1 --- 3.3-rc2 --- ... --- 3.3 --- 3.4-rc1 --- ...
         \                                       \
          \--- 3.2.1 --- ... --- 3.2.12           \--- 3.3.1 --- ...
