The fact that "stable" points to 0.9.15.2 doesn't prevent to make a
0.9.14.4 releae.

At any given point there's only one *recommended* stable version.

1000 tags might not create a lot of noise because tags are not used so
often, but you are saying "$version-stable" should be a branch; 1000
branches will create noise. I don't know about you, but I run 'git
branch -a' pretty often.

Why taint an otherwise clean repository with old branches that few
people would use?

That is my opinion.
