There's the rub.  Unstable gets fixed faster, since it's constantly in flux. 
But testing is indeed more _stable_ -- working things stay working longer and
broken things stay broken longer.

The question might be: Which breaks more often?  By that metric, I suspect
that unstable is more, well, unstable, even though its breaks might get fixed
faster.
