Development and Stable branches?

I was told that the odd-numbered version numbers of Subversion e.g. 
1.5.x are the relatively unstable "development" branches and the 
even-numbered branches e.g. 1.6.x are the "stable" branches, sort of 
like the Linux kernel does it (or used to).

Is that true?

Thanks, Stefan.  That's what I was looking for and couldn't find.

No, it isn't.
