[racket-dev] [plt] Push #28550: master branch updated

No, I think it's very much the same -- like unstable, changes to the
type system for classes may cause programs that worked (accidentally)
in 6.0.1 to stop working later.  The situtation with `unstable` is in
fact more unstable, since the interface may change or disappear
entirely.
