Difference between Mainline and Stable Nginx version

[Thomas Ward]

This said, when Mainline is actually cut into Stable come ~April, then
Stable gets all the new stuff Mainline had between the two stable
releases - Stable for production/stability in featureset, but Mainline
if you don't mind having new features available in case you need them. 
For the most part I've seen both used interchangeably for basic setups,
it's more if you need the advanced stuff or brand new things available
in Mainline but not Stable, in my opinion, that drives which you use.
