The 7.6 release was no more unstable than the 8.0 release. Unless you're referring to the fact that 8.0 is going to be a LTS release. But if that's the case, it's not happening for a while yet, 6.10 is still the current LTS version.
You're right, corrected.

Node 7.6 is a stable release. Are you talking about LTS?
Edit: originally wrote 'unstable'. Meant 'non-LTS'
