I'm not so sure about that exemption. The "experimental" stability level seems to be the norm on Hackage and often means "I use this for real projects, but because I use it for real projects I'm not quite willing to hammer the API in stone just yet".
...
Before dealing with automatic documentation requirements, perhaps it'd be better to develop a standard consensus on the terms used in the stability field and actively advocating for people to adopt it, as was done with the PVP.
I think there's no need to cajole people into it -- if Hackage 2 puts
"stable" packages on a different / better list, there's your social
pressure. Right now the stability flag in the .cabal file, as you
pointed out, is almost completely content-free.
