Yes, after an upcoming beta.

Later (IMHO, we should get another beta out first, before a roadmap).

However, for the actual 0.3.3 release, I would like to see at least:
-working graphs for as much as is possible without significant work
-fix known bugs related to template features
-ship a few more templates for common hardware (that exhibits the graphs)
-try and understand and/or resolve the "devmon tests go purple" issue.

Why would a beta be stable?

I think splitting the software and the templates is fine. However, in some 
cases this is may not lead to a working solution (as the patches/templates in 
this thread show).

In fact, one feature I would like to add is for a template I would like to get 
working ...

Of course not, but it's better to have a single source repository accessible 
to everyone, with history (revision control), than for each user to have 
separate source trees and mail patches around (well, at least without using 
an RCS that supports this).
