I don't think there is a way to get rid of questions like that when
you have ports for two different versions.  If you renamed them to
"samba-stable" and "samba" then people would still ask whether samba
was "stable enough."  If you renamed them to "samba-a" and "samba-b",
folks would want to know what the difference was.  Certain people in
the world just ask questions like that, and there's nothing that can
be done about it. :-)
