I took a look through the wiki, and the YH players seem to have no install directions at all. IMO this disqualifies them from being considered unstable. Additionally, while the Gigabeat S has install directions (several of them actually) they look incomplete and probably out of date. And theres several different versions of them on the wiki. This should also be fixed before they're considered unstable.

The Phillips players also look like they might be considered unstable, but have no install directions that I could see as well.

IMO that means that the first batch of unstable players should be the Fuze and e200v2, followed by the others once they have clear and easily understood install directions and bootloaders posted somewhere (site or forums). The D2 also has nice install directions, so that may be a good candidate as well (but I don't have one and cannot speak to the usability of the port).
