I don't want to get into a debate over what a "stable release" should be
defined as but Cygwin 1.5.6 is a release of the Cygwin package that has
as much (and perhaps more) testing as any other release of the package.
It just contains more fundamental changes than the typical release and
it took the release before some of them were found (snapshots of the
upcoming release are always available to anyone who would like to test 
things out before they are unleashed publicly).  There is still some 
benefit to people using 1.5.6 to see if there are other problems not already
found too, though it's even better if people would try the latest snapshot
(since that's the first thing we'll suggest if someone writes in with a 
problem with 1.5.6 ;-) ).  1.5.7 will be along to make all this moot 
anyway. :-)
