"Unstable" is a carryover from Debian terminology.  For Fink purposes
the packages there generally work--it could be that the maintainer
didn't receive positive feedback on the package to move it to stable,
or that it has dependencies that have to be moved first, or some other
minor reason.

We might be better served with unstable -> testing -> stable, but that
hasn't been implemented as of yet.
