Cabal allows for a freeform Stability field:
stability: freeform
The stability level of the package, e.g.
alpha
,experimental
,provisional
,stable
.
What are the community conventions about these stability values? What is considered experimental
and what is provisional
? I see only few packages are declared as stable
. What kind of stability does it refer to, stability of the exposed API or the ultimate bug-free state of the software?
