well, the "policies" have to be flexible, due to the stupidity of some
software "publisher"s lack of standards and consistency.
The usual questions to be asked are:

1. how long has [specific version proposed] been out in the wild
2. how likely is it that an official new 'stable' version will be released
   soon?

 (and 2a: is the'stable' version so ancient as to be virtually useless)

If the answers are long the lines of

1. a very long time
2. very unlikely

then a newer but non "stable" release of software can be accepted as a
package.
