IMO it's the wrong way around. It should be for the consumer of an API to request unstable access, not the provider to grant it. Which incidentally is probably a good way of getting more input into the evolution of the API? A non-stable API in NetBeans is also stable for the release it's in AFAIK. Best wishes, Neil >
