They're reasonably stable; more importantly, they're your only useful
option because the last point release was done last July, and there have
been many changes since then.  However, I'd recommend not mucking with
CVS unless you intend to do development work on reST; just use the
snapshot at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docutils-snapshot.tgz
(which gets automatically generated from CVS).

If someone wants to take charge of doing the grunt work for the next
point release, I'm sure David Goodger would love to hear from you.
