I meant stability not in the sense of 'frequently crashing', in the sense of the API and 'how things work' remaining the same over time.

It's 0.x.x for a reason, don't you think?

The leading 0 denotes probable instability in the API that devs are willing to take the risk for and act upon.

You're familiar with SemVer, aren't you?

Node.js has never followed SemVer. That's why when io.js forked they adopted 1.0.0 and now Node.js went from 0.12.x to 4.0.0...
