Would it perhaps be worth while putting all released versions of Lua
on the Github site as labeled branches? While a tarball is fine, the
way of the world right now is to grab everything from Github. If other
labeled version were available, it then becomes obvious that head is
unstable. As a cautionary exercise, the head revision could have a
different readme warning "Thar be dragons here and you're on your
own".

Just a thought,
