Maintenance builds are produced periodically to incorporate fixes into an existing release. They are typically built from tagged plug-in and feature pojects in a maintenance branch of the Git repository (i.e. R3_7_maintenance). Maintenance builds are promoted to a minor or service release (i.e. R3.7 or R3.7.1) after development teams have deemed one to be stable following one or more test-fix pass cycles.

Maintenance builds don't have to be stable. Go for release builds of the current and stable builds of the next version. Integration builds should be stable too - but actually I see some test failures there too.

So the image actually shows that there are failures in **all** areas?That is what the red X shows? – Cratylus Oct 28 '12 at 18:53
A red cross shows that at least one test failed. Simply click on the mark to see the test results. – Andreas Dolk Oct 28 '12 at 18:58

One line above your download link is a description of the different kinds of builds, which you should read to understand that a maintenance build is not your best option.
