[bug#52596] [guix-artwork PATCH] website: Relabel stable/latest to release/current.

["pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)" <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>]

Hi simon.

What matters is that users try first to install with the stable Guix
System image, because it is more likely to succeed, but if it does not
succeed, they can try the other one.  In this regard, the terms
stable/latest seem fine to me.  1.3.0/current might reverse the order.

The discussion on IRC provess you right that users get confused.

I agree that the "stable" manual is better described as 1.3.0 (like
what your patch does) and not as stable.  But I am unsure if the
stable manual is needed at all.  You have a more experienced judgment
here though.
