Stable isn't a _version_ though -- it's a line of development, a series
of patches.  Don't use a tag for it, use a seperate repository, i.e. the
same way we do branches.

For example, their is a "darcs-stable" repository that always contains
the latest stable version, and a "darcs" repository that always contains
the latest development version.  Patches can be pushed back and forth
between them -- i.e. when a feature in development is deemed stable
enough to deploy.

No.  Never ever unrecord patches that have been distributed to
other repositories.
