So, to summarize:

All we need to do is add an additional tag "LATEST_STABLE", which is moved by 
the app mainainer after every stable release. E.g., Jeroen releases Kile 
1.6.3, tags it kile_1_6_3, and then also tags it LATEST_STABLE.

If this is the plan I think it's very little work and completely acceptable.
