I don't understand the question:

 - GTK+-2.1.4 (an unstable release) should not go to your 
   customers. That's why the release announcement says
   "This release should not be used in production."

 - When GTK+-2.2.0 is released (any minute now...) it won't 
   be unstable any more.

 - As the 2.1.4 release says "GTK+-2.2 will be source 
   and binary compatibility with the GTK+-2.0.x series"

The reason we make releases like 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 is so that 
people like you can test and make sure there aren't any problems 
before the code goes to people like your customers.
