For users of MELPA stable you need some sort of tag to release from.
While it is possible to mix and match melpa-stable/melpa a lot of people

FWIW I track melpa on my main machine but only melpa-stable on my other
boxen so I don't get surprised by a broken emacs when I access them
because of a random change.
