2.2-STABLE is a branch (or think of it as  a line in time)
2.2.5-RELEASE is one specific POINT on that line, where it intersects
a plane that represents a particular date.. (the RELEASE date)

-STABLE is of course presently newer than 2.2.5
but as it has had stuff added to it since the last 'freeze' it may not be
quite as 'stable' as a release.
