Ben, I reckon the best way to handle 'stable' and 'unstable' is to have
a website dedicated to Ruby packages (like an improved RAA; I know
that's been discussed recently).  Allow user reviews, tie it in with
Rubyforge and RAA, allow categorisation as stable or unstable, etc.

Then people can browse the information as they please, and the 'gem'
command-line app can take advantage of the information as well (through
a web service or DRb or whatever).

It's crucial to keep the data separate from the metadata, IMO.

Cheers,
Gavin
