Just to be clear, we aren't talking about packages in the PLaneT sense 
at all. Rather, modules and subcollections within the "unstable" collection.

I think this can be done at the documentation level. Possibly we'll 
evolve some standard labels and encourage their use. BTW, I'm 
envisioning all documentation for "unstable" libraries to be within a 
single "Unstable" manual; that should help make it clear.
