Just to be clear, we aren't talking about packages in the PLaneT sense at all. Rather, modules and subcollections within the "unstable" collection. I think this can be done at the documentation level. Possibly we'll evolve some standard labels and encourage their use. BTW, I'm envisioning all documentation for "unstable" libraries to be within a single "Unstable" manual; that should help make it clear. Ryan
