Ok.. there's a FAQ on -current but I was unable to find anything on
-stable. (please hit me in the head with something heavy and blunt if
I missed it.)

I assume -stable is 2.1.0-release with bugfixes, i.e. more stable than
2.1.0?

Is it possible to get a list somewhere of the differences between
-release and -stable?  May one run a -stable kernel with the rest of
a -release source tree without horrible things happening?  

Thanks in advance for enlightenment, either via answer or blunt object.
