I would like that.

Of course, that means I need to resist the temptation to hack new
features into emacs-wiki--sacha--1.0. Perhaps I should just branch off
planner--stable--1.0. To keep the code neat and clean, I should only
commit quick bugfixes when the original reporter has confirmed that
the development branch is working, and add new features only when
other people have confirmed no problems with a patch (and added
whatever documentation they wanted).

(Or something like that; I might be a poor judge of "stable".)

Or I can just feature-freeze until all the existing features are
documented, commit new features to the development branch, and commit
them to stable only when people understand the features added. <grin>
