The concern is that if new users go to the download page, they are told
very clearly that the stable version is 1.3.3.14

If instead they install it from their package manager, e.g. Ubuntu, unless
they specify ng, they will get 1.3.3.14

Nobody is going to write a book about a dev version. Once there is a new
stable version, there is much more motivation to update documentation
since there is not a moving target.

I am very glad to hear that ALE was right and 1.4.0 will in fact be stable.
I was looking at the top right of the wiki home page:
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus
where is says: "Next release - 1.4.0 Developmental version"
