Additionally, it may be beneficial to have a different download path, as
well for the stable releases. For example:

For standard releases:
(ftp|http)://libvirt.org/libvirt/

For stable releases:
(ftp|http)://libvirt.org/libvirt/stable/

And then document this on the the website, if it hasn't already been.

Thanks, again.
