A very important aspect that needs to be in stable versions, IMO, is the ability to ignore the system completely if one wants to. The first thing I plan to do when the feature is enabled is to set my preferences so that I always see the most recent version, not just the most recent stable version; I want to work at the raw coal face of Wikipedia, for me stable versions is just a fence around the worksite to get people to stop "helpfully" filling in the hole I'm trying to dig.
Just curious. If I made a patch that allowed any user with "markstable" (by default sysops) to mark a particular version of an article as "stable", and then showed that version to users who weren't logged in, and added $wgStableVersions to turn it on and off, would it be accepted?
