If you're serious about "stable", use latest 21.4. 21.5 does not guarantee backward compatibility, although some of us occasionally yell when some commit violates our sensibilities. :-) Otherwise I'd use Mercurial tip 2-3 days after the most recent commit. On the minus-not-so-bad side, anything deep enough to escape those 2-3 days got by our test suite anyway. On the plus side, you're likely to pick up increased GNU compatibility.
