I'd check out the two policy/guideline proposals
regarding it. I think
they're at [[Wikipedia:Stable articles]] and [[Wikipedia:Stable articles
now]], or close to it.
Well, the stable version feature is going into MediaWiki (the
Foundation is even paying for its development) and it's going to be
trialled on de:wp. It's a software feature - if the current ideas on
how to use it aren't getting popularity, others will. But something
like it is unavoidable if we're actually writing an encyclopedia
intended to be a usable product rather than *just* the continuous live
working draft.
