Hi,

This distinction refers to two different git branches in our repository.
The stable rules are those in the "stable" git branch, while the unstable
rules are those in the "master" git branch.  So if you do

git checkout stable

in a copy of the HTTPS Everywhere git tree, you'll see the stable rules
in src/chrome/content/rules.
