...the primary deliverable ... is the language specification, known as “roast” (Repository Of All Spec Tests) ...
In other words it's roast, the digital acceptance test for any candidate Perl 6 compiler, that is arguably the only thing that was officially declared, and hence the only thing that could be construed to have been officially declared any particular thing such as "stable".
Continuing:
... This Rakudo release targets those tests (over 120 thousand of them), and passes them all on at least some architectures when the moon is in the right phase.
Rakudo is a Perl 6 compiler (so that one can try out the announced language).
Note the moon phase comment. While obviously not literal and arguably misleading it is a brilliantly concise and precise explanation of the degree to which Rakudo, the leading Perl 6 compiler, should or could be characterized as officially "stable".
Note especially this passage:
