I have also heard that stable/newton branch will be released around 
Barcelona Summit.
I am waiting for new documentation release to create corresponding 
stable versions in Zanata (translation platform).

I18n team set *install-guide (+common)* and *networking-guide* as 
documentation translation targets for Mitaka.
(For Newton, I need to identify targets with discussions later.)
Since admin-guide translation occurred in master branch and also is not 
main translation target, continuous-release in admin-guide is fine 
currently to translators.

+1

And a sort of notification to translators if lots of changes on stable 
branches are going to be applied would be needed..
