the thing is just fundamentally not designed right. Declaring it stable
ain't gonna fix that. Having someone do a right design (which will
obviously will go through some breakage period, even if it's an
evolution of the current design) is a required step of getting s/r more
reliable... but the current one doesn't get stable just by declaring it
so.
