a pretty strong consensus against stable versions when it was

I don't remember any such consensus against it.
Neither do I.
I recall it rather strongly, actually. It was around the same time we
were preoccupied with the Elephant vandalism, and Cyde was the main guy
saying let's do it anyway.
I recall bringing the issue up on this mailing list (or possibly
wikipedia-l?) a few months ago, and not only was consensus strongly in
favor, but there wasn't a *single* post opposed to it. There were just
disagreements over the best way to do it.
