In GNOME every even version is stable, it's not "marked". 2.20, 2.22,
2.24 are stable releases, and 2.26 will be a stable release.

Any distro can ship what they want.
How it affects upstream development? Well... probably less feedback, but
there are enough distros out there that do ship up-to-date versions.
Only thing that's annoying is all the 2.20 nautilus bug reports from
Debian in bugzilla.gnome.org. Nobody is interested in that noise because
nobody works on nautilus 2.20 or 2.22 in GNOME anymore.
