I think the deeper insight here is not limited to Cognitect or Clojure: it is that once software gains traction, it is no longer up to the author to determine alpha/beta/stable status. If something is widely depended upon, it will be difficult to change, and it is de facto stable, regardless of the label that the author put on it.
