Do the obfsproxy bundles have the exact same release schedule as normal TBB?
Unfortunately, no. Currently, obfsproxy bundles are built by different people with a different schedule.
At the moment it seems like the current alpha is 2.4.11-alpha-2, and the obfsproxy bundle is at that same version too. Is it ever recommended to run the "stable" obfsproxy bundle?
The current naming scheme was picked for the last release, releases before that used different schemes. You can only hope future releases follow the current scheme.
I believe your best bet here is: Think about how you would want the interface to look like, and make it easy for future build people to follow that.
The final goal is to not have separate bundles at all, so you should implement it in a way that separate bundles can easily be dropped (or added) in the future.
What Moritz says is right.
We're calling the obfsproxy bundles the pluggable transports bundles now: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/new-pluggable-transports-bundles-02411-alph....
My future plan for not having separate bundles is https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8019#comment:3
I don't anticipate having stable pluggable transports bundles before the pluggable transport bundles become obsolete (i.e., become part of the standard browser bundle).
