Hi,
I think this should be done. The frost poster said it all, there is no new
development going on in 0.6, so there is no good reason for an unstable net
anymore.
IMO, we should simply look which of the two (stable or unstable) works better
right now and make the other one officially deprecated. (and somehow announce
this.)
