[Having said that, it still differs a bit from the original idea - I
hoped to have a set of 3 images that we wouldn't have to update with
every upload of new version - we would be able just to stick it next to
the download links, but still, this is good :-)]
It took me quite a while to understand what you mean.
Did you think about something like this?

I uploaded the tachometers to the wiki:

This picture tells me that it is dangerous to use the actual version
3.4.0 because it is in the red (or orange) area.
And when we have 3.4.1 or higher it is the same. But 3.4.1 will be a
release with bug fixes. Red/orange areas should only be for betas/RCs
but not for actual versions. All actual versions should be in a "green
area".
I personally don't like such a adopt-o-meter which looks like a
speedometer to show which version is the best. It's looks rowdy,
ostentatious for me ("The Fast and the Furios").
Bernhard's first and Vamsi's proposals show a more reputable software.
And even the version 3.4.0 *is* a reputable version.

This mockup shows the problem when we use a circular button. It is
getting too wide if we put two meters side by side.
My 0.5 cents
An other proposal:
What do you think about an interactive adopt-o-meter? We have a bar like
Vamsi's fith proposal with "Stability" and "Features" but only showing
the version where the moveable slider is. When the user slides the
sliding pot he views an other version.
(I'm not able for now to show on a mockup what I mean, sorry)
