I don't think anything constitutional is necessary or desirable.

Ian's put what could be described as a manifesto for Indiana on
his blog. I hope to see published aims and a project plan.
Once we actually see those we'll know what the ground rules are.

(As for unstable software, if you ban that you're going to end up
with something pretty minimal and useless. Besides, with a
repository based system it won't be necessary or matter -
end users can choose what they want to install and their level
of risk-aversion.)
