IIRC, it was marked as evolving because it wasn’t clear at the time
whether we would need to add more stability levels. (One of the key
inspirations for the stability levels—Sun’s ARC process—had more.)
So I think it’s important to remember that if this gets changed to
stable, that effectively means it new levels can’t really get added...
