So, I have used MELPA before, but I found living on the bleeding edge for all of my packages is bit painful; the overall stability of my Emacs setup dropped considerably. I fear this will remain while many package developers use a "dirty head" versioning system (myself included). I don't mind doing this for one or two packages where I want bleeding edge, but I haven't worked out how to get package.el to pick packages from different repos. I agree with you about problems with marmalade. What we need is a way for devs to specify the latest stable version (by commit, branch or tag) in their Emacs packages. That would mean that, like marmalade, the developer would control which version is considered stable, but could do so purely with their VC. Wordpress plugins use something similar.
