Most users actually the current branch at the moment as stable is
quite outdated as you already noticed. We have started work on
a new stable and outlined some technical background at
   <http://wiki.opencsw.org/releases-and-staging>

It would be great if you could review the documentation and
see if this fits your needs because as a user of stable you
are the target-audience we are prepare stable for :-)


Best regards
