You just nailed a really important issue and I want to attack this head on.

I will make the necessary modifications to the homepage such that people
know that the unstable tree is selected by default.  I think that the end
user should have the option to select either "stable" or "unstable" when
the CSWpkgget package is installed and thus they are made aware of that
choice.

The next issue is a HOW TO go from the unstable tree to the stable tree with
a minimum of fuss.
