This is exactly the problem with an overadherance to "stability". If you submit a PR to fix a bug in a "stable" product, it will be a year before it ever becomes "stable", so the incentive to fix it is nearly zero, because you can't get the stability and your bug fix. (If they just ship every random PR to the stable build, well, now it's the "unstable" build.)
