Well, the changelog (https://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php) is fairly clear about the upstream release cycle:
2019-03-05 7.0.8-32 2019-03-04 7.0.8-31 2019-03-03 7.0.8-30 2019-02-28 7.0.8-29
Yes, that seems to be more a side-effect of the ease of creating a release on git rather than the historical deliberative process of what to include, patch and the normal Q&A that takes place during the 'alpha', 'beta' stages before we reach a 'release'.
The changelog seems to reflect that Arch is NOT following the stable branch of imagemagick.
The latest release on the "Master" branch is:
Release build (7.0.8-27) (released 24 days ago) https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/releases/tag/7.0.8-27
Why are we not tracking Master?
I don't think this is accurate. Why do you say this? Where are you seeing that -28+ isn't considered stable? I'm taking all of this to mean ImageMagick just hasn't remembered to tag release numbers on github since -27. The ChangeLog doesn't indicate 28+ isn't stable, and looking at their past github tags, it's not looking to me like they have a stable/unstable concept. The ChangeLog indicates -32 is git commit 58d9c4692, which is on the github master branch, currently 4 back from HEAD.
