I don't understand either anymore.

That seems good to me. I believe the current plan is:
* Add a 'stable' property to the gtk-doc/stable, dblatex/stable ... packages.
* Change gnu-build-system, glib-or-gtk-build-system ... to implicitely add
packages in inputs, propagated-inputs or native-inputs that have the 'stable'
property to #:disallowed-references, unless the package that is being built is
a 'stable' package itself.
And an idea for the future is:
* Implicitely add all packages in native-inputs to #:disallowed-references,
unless they are in inputs or propagated-inputs as well.
* Verify everything still works well (when cross-compiling and when compiling
natively), and fix breakage.
Greetings,
Maxime.
