IMHO, the right thing to do here would be to use "stable" if the CD is
for stable, "frozen" if the CD is for frozen, and "unstable" if the CD
is for unstable.

For a given architecture, at a given time, any given distribution
(potato, woody, etc.) is either stable, frozen or unstable, but never
two or three different things among stable, frozen and unstable.

Of course, for a test CD which is intended to be a "prototype for stable CD",
using "stable" would be the logical choice.
