Good point, the two files are inconsistent. As a native speaker: in
Taiwan we normally say "stable" in English when referring to the
kernel's stable tree or the -stable releases, so keeping -stable
untranslated reads more natural there. Where the text means "a
released stable version" as a common noun, the Chinese wording is
fine.

So the rule I would like to follow is:

  - -stable / stable tree / stable branch  -> keep as-is
  - "a stable release" in the general sense -> 穩定版本

I will apply this consistently in v2 (it only touches a few lines in
08/16 and this patch) and record it in the glossary.

Will fix in v2 together with the commit message wrapping.

Thanks, and thanks for the Reviewed-by.
