I don't know who came up with these names in the first place. However there's a slight nuance here: some platform may be supported, but still some buildbot end up in the "unstable" category if it has issues of its own (for example the machine has a flaky network connection, etc.). And indeed there are Linux and Windows machines in the "unstable" category.
