Yes.

Yes.  Expect a release tomorrow.

release/unstable is not used at the moment.  I have no clue what
release/2.14 is, but I'll look into it.  I probably just pushed a
branch like that instead of stable/2.14.  Or maybe we should
rename release/2.14 to stable/2.14

This is understandable.  You are quite correct in the final
thought that stable/2.14 is merely catching up to (selected
portions of) master.
