It is indeed the latter (at least, how I understand it). The builder 
should "usually" give green, which means it should have done so over 
some extended period of time. If it then gets broken it means that 
somebody actually broke the code, rather than the system showing one of 
its glitches.
So asking for addition to the stable list *while* the slave is red is a 
bad idea.
FWIW, nobody has requested changing any of the build slaves to "stable" 
for the last two years or so.
