Please ? When 3.0-RELEASE was released, 3.0 was still the current branch. The 3.0 did not become -stable until mid-January. At that point, 2.2 went from -stable to -dormant, a new -stable branch was forked and named 3.0-stable (since 3.1 wasn't released until a month after this) and -current was renamed to 4.0-current. At the time of 3.0-RELEASE, 3.0 was still -current, however, so 3.0 was not a -stable release. 3.1 was the first -stable release on the 3.x branch.
