Stef,
The current version is stable (Metacello-dkh.147). I'm holding off development until I feel comfortable with the requirements for the next wholesale rewrite.
I think it would be useful for you to take a cut at using Metacello to configure Moose and identify the things that are difficult to express or just plain wacky:) There should be enough functionality there for you to do a proof-of-concept for Moose.
WAVersionMap is a functional prototype and is based on Metacello-dkh. 147, so I'd recommend that you use WAVersionMap as a guide as to what you can and can't do and then asking me questions if things aren't obvious. With that said, be prepared to toss everything you've done for Moose against Metacello-dkh.147, because the API will be changing with the next rewrite.
