The major point to know is that the declaration of stability is decided 
by the extension author alone. Additionally he/she/it/they might no 
longer take care of the extension, still it won't be touched. So you 
must always consider the stability label together with the last date the 
extension was updated. Maybe it was stable in previous TYPO3 versions 
(which alt_main.php clearly points too, because that was a file for the 
old backend up to 4.1.x I think).
