Man, that's going to be a showdown of epic proportions. I'll again idly note that there's some significant opposition to the idea of article stability, and nothing appears to be happening to address that.
Please point me at it.
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.
