This would be interesting. We used to have a page set up where people
could see unstable pairs. The problem was that it made the server go
down quite often, so we turned it off. 

If someone has server space, it would be fairly easy to script a build
process to build and offer all the pairs.

I often thought it would be interesting to offer, for example details of
coverage and probable translation quality for each pair.
