These issues aren't so significant in environments where the user maintains
their own system, but critical in organizations where a small staff is
responsible for hundreds or thousands of hosts, and users are usually not
allowed to modify their system.
"Production" systems are ones that are relied upon for critical operations,
those that incur a significant cost if they stop working. These are often set
up to run for years without any significant changes in order to minimize
downtime and maintenance costs.
Doesn't have to be a multi-user host either, the CEO's personal desktop is
usually treated as a critical "production" system.
To distinguish from "testing" machines or other hosts where downtime is NBD.
Marking a release (package, repo or distro) as "stable" usually implies the
components-collection has gone through longer (over time) and more thorough
(more people and platforms, in combination with more variables) TESTING. Newer
releases are by that definition inherently "unstable".
Significant security issues are usually the only exception, their fixes often
"backported" to the older releases.
