Stable GnuPG: 1.4.12 vs 2.0.18

[Gaetan Bisson]

Dear GnuPG developers,

Over at Arch Linux (see [1] and surrounding messages) we are slightly
confused by the statuses of GnuPG-1 and GnuPG-2, and more specifically
the following sentences:

	"1.4.12 is the stable version of GnuPG. (2.0.18 is the unstable
	development version)." [2]

	"We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable
	GnuPG-2 release:  Version 2.0.18." [3]

We understand the GnuPG-2 branch is very different to GnuPG-1. Hence our
question: will you consider the GnuPG-2 branch as stable as GnuPG-1 some
day in the future, or is this already the case?

Cheers.
