I generally agree with your comments. I haven't marked clisp stable
because even I haven't had time to muck with it much. This is very much
a work in progress; "stable" gives, I think, much false hope. In my
experience, broken packages from the stable line are quite common (I
lack examples currently) and do us no credit.
Further, I think it wise to consider OSX versions in keywording: things
which work just fine for devs using Panther appear to break in Tiger,
and vice-versa (again, no specific examples). This is a separate issue,
however I think it is something we all should remember before marking a
package "stable".
