+### Determining the stabilization version

+The version in which the feature will be stabilized *must* match
+the value of [the `src/version` file in `master`][src-version] when the PR is merged.
+
+It's worth checking [the version schedule on the Forge][forge-versions] to see whether
+changes are coming soon.  You'll usually use the version labelled "Nightly".
+"Nightly" is two versions higher than the current stable release,
+since what's currently in beta will be the next stable release,
+and any changes you're making now will be in the one after that.
+
+No PR is merged instantly, so you'll want to be careful around release time.
+The version bump happens [the Friday before][forge-release-process] the stable release,
+not the same time as the release.  So if you're opening a PR shortly before then,
+be prepared to update the version, or consider just opening it for one version
+higher than the current nightly, with a note saying not to merge until
+after the upcoming version bump.
