I feel like I both use stable and 稳定版 in my daily life, sometimes depends the context. But both understandable. Personally, I tend to avoid intermixing English in my Chinese writing as much as possible. However, sometimes it is inevitable to do so. And one can easily provide counterexamples as well. On the other hand, there are too many instances of the words "stable" and "稳定版" throughout the existing document, so there is no need to change them. Just apply the current regulations to the new articles. So there's no need to worry about this. Cheers!
