Well, I think the original author meant to use "rate" instead of "place",
in an effort to emphasize on the relative "stability" of the STABLE
branches, and the smaller number of commits that are in general expected to
happen in the STABLE branch, compared to the "lively" state of the HEAD
branch where CURRENT lives.
If the original text seems confusing, I'll agree that it needs to be made
as clear as possible though. In Michael Lucas' spirit, we need to make it
``impossible for the reader to misunderstand what is written.''
