http://www.drbd.org/releases.html

| 8.2.y
| 
| Receives new features, and all bugfixes of 8.0. The protocol might get

| stable at the same time.

| 
| 8.0.y
| 
| Is the current stable (in the sense of feature-frozen) branch, and
| only receives bug fixes. The wire protocol is frozen as well.
 

8.0.y receives only bugfixes, so I doubt that many thing are tested in
8.0.y and then rolled into 8.2.y. At least not the new features.

>From a debian point of view 8.2.y would be in unstable, 8.0.y in
stable.  But it's a bit confusing that both versions are called
stable.
