nginx: stable vs mainline

Hi, the “stable” branch means that the software will not get new feature updates, only major bug fixes (security/improvement updates, to fix/improve existing features), while the “mainline” branch means the software will get new features when updated. The branch is NOT beta, but might cause trouble on a production server (security issues may appear in the new features). In the documentation they claim “mainline” is better supported (and more tested) than stable (probably because stable has been mainline before).
