according to how mature modules are e.g. untested, okay, robust.

Occasionally I consider making a list of reliable modules that transcends a
particular repository.  For example it might possibly include the modules in
CrossWire repo, some from Beta and some from Xiphos.  Alternatively modules
could have a reliability ranking associated with them e.g robust, okay,
untested.  That way the 'experimental' modules would not provide simple
users with a bad experience and the desirable and robust modules would be
made available.

In some ways apps already do this - And Bible needs to filter the English
Dictionary because it is too large for mobiles and causes errors it also
ignores Gen books because it doesn't support that format yet.  I believe PS
also does some filtering of modules.
