I think for people who actually want spdy3 support, they will evaluate whether nginx 1.5 is stable enough for them. Stable is just a word, and unless it's a straightjacket "stable or nothing" culture you're referring to, yes people will have to make their own decisions about whether 1.5 is stable enough for their needs.

As the posts below, "mainline" is considered stable enough for production.

A rose by any other name?

Well, the difference is that breaking changes are made to 1.5 so when a security update comes out (like today) you have to do regression testing instead of just grabbing and building the latest version.
