The integration of package-vc with use-package makes a bit easier what's
already possible.

One possible way to mitigate the problem of running instable code is to
check out the commit with the latest tag.  (I don't know how feasible is
to implement this.)  Alternatively, use-package cloud refuse a :vc
keyword if an additional :i-know-this-is-in-development-code keyword was
not set.
