+You should learn to use unambiguous words then. Where I get that from
+is in this quote:
+"No, I'm doing exactly as the policy says, patch current stable version."
+
+To me "current stable version" = whatever is available upstream as the
+current stable version (=bugfixrelease) of the codeline that is in the
+distro.
+If distro has shipped 1.3.2 initially, and 1.3.4 is available in the
+meantime, then "current stable" is 1.3.4 in my world, not 1.3.2.
