While I agree that this is "interpretation," to me _stability_ means it 
doesn't crash and has few bugs. Binary compatibility over time is an 
important issue in many ways, but if Fedora 1 never crashes and Fedora 2 
never crashes, then for me it's **stable** even if it turns out that Fedora 
2 apps don't run on Fedora 1. That is longevity, useful life of an app's 
version, whatever... but it's not stability.
