Development libtool offers few user-visible features where a new 
feature is defined by new functionality.  Most new "features" are 
internal design changes.

To me "stable" means that there are very few changes needed.  It 
represents a point of equilibrium.  Rather than everyone needing to 
run to the other side of the raft, it should only be necessary for 
there to be a minor change in seating position to avoid capsizing.  We 
should be at that point after several years of development.
