"unstable" and "-devel" are apples and oranges.  "unstable" packages are
bleeding edge, not necessarily tested, likely to be broken in some
regard.  "-devel" packages provide header files, static libraries, and
other such files needed for compiling software using the libraries in
question.  While most users don't need "-devel" packages, it doesn't
make a system any less stable (though it can complicate upgrades in some
cases).
