There is one HECK of a lot of difference.  Committers may commit
freely to -current, given reasonable standards for code quality
(e.g. it has to be a step forward and it has to compile - nobody
would settle for less).  Committers may NOT freely commit to -stable
or any release branch under development.  It may be technologically
possible, but definitely not allowed or encouraged.

You're not even close.
