I don't think this is accurate. Why do you say this?  Where are you
seeing that -28+ isn't considered stable?

I'm taking all of this to mean ImageMagick just hasn't remembered to
tag release numbers on github since -27.

The ChangeLog doesn't indicate 28+ isn't stable, and looking at their
past github tags, it's not looking to me like they have a
stable/unstable concept.  The ChangeLog indicates -32 is git commit
58d9c4692, which is on the github master branch, currently 4 back from
HEAD.
