What would be the point of that? Stable/2009 only received changes that 
were already in .dev. If there are differences then that's due to 
needing to account for differences in classes, config files and old(er) 
bitbake releases.

It bothers me that everybody seems to have an opinion of stable/2009 but 
only very few people actually contribute to it. The OP is a great 
example of people not knowing what they are talking about. I can only 
imagine the amount of headdesks Marcin did at OEDEM when reading the 
hilarious summary of the stable branch discussion.
