We don't have any intentions at this time to increase the total number of stable slots.
However, we are interested in possibly changing the way Hunter's might use stable slots. The issue we see, is that a stable slot is usually left empty in order to swap out pets and take abilities off of them. This results in Hunters usually having one empty stable slot at all times, waiting for that "disposable" pet.
We might be changing the way taming works, so that beast training can be used without actually having to tame and stable a pet. This could then allow Hunters to store an actual pet in that previously empty slot, effectively increasing the stable size.

Q u o t e:
I'll never understand why you just refuse to increase stable slots. I mean really, its been a sore spot for hunters since day one, brought to the attention of the devs many times, and yet you still refuse to do it 2 years later. Instead, you will try to circumvent the problem with some other technique that sounds like it would require a hell of a lot more work than just increasing the damn slots!
/boggled
Because increasing storage space for characters carries a heavy technological weight to it and is something we try to avoid when possible by using more creative solutions. Increasing character data directly impacts game performance, so it is something done with careful consideration and should not be regarded as "the simple, easy solution".
