docs: lower the maximum stability level to "stable"

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/jonathanong/frozen-is-the-best-movie-of-all-time into v1.x

personally never liked "frozen" or "locked" stability levels. although it makes sense from a maintainer's perspective, it somewhat alienates the community. i'd rather have maintainers destroy feature requests with reasoning instead of "the API is locked. this issue is closed". instead, i want the community to actively suggest ways to make iojs better, regardless of how much change it may introduce.

I also do not believe these stability levels to be true.

  • assert is probably going to change with https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/621
  • with es6, modules are very likely to change (though we have no idea yet)
  • timers have changed (in functionality, not necessarily API) almost every minor version of node/iojs
  • .getMaxListeners() was recently added to events
