Why shouldn't it be included in stable?
We also have web browsers in stable that are unsupported (everything
except iceweasel and chromium) or applications like the evolution mail
program or the amarok music player which use webkit-based HTML widget to
display HTML from untrusted sources, but the HTML widgets have no
security support.
Other examples mentioned in the release notes include node.js or mediawiki.
