Stable versions, Wikipedia's holy grail. What I really don't get is why, if stable versions really are going to 'fix' all the problems they have with BLPs, they don't just delete/permanently semiprotect the articles of contention until stable versions is released. Surely that would be the courteous thing to do.
The problem with stable versions is that they require community decision that are...you know...the product of a
dysfunctional social networking community. It's like playing wack-a-mole. You can shift the location of the bad decision making but the bad decision making just pops up somewhere else.
