Hence - spend and replace immediately - that doesn't require stability :)

But I agree - and also assume we will weed away many of these coins for widespread use, leaving a few major players globally, and smaller alts locally - or maybe it will be a sea of alts, and people will pick and choose based on a variety of factors.

For stability, mass adoption is required IMO - which is what I am advocating.
I'm not Bitcoin maximalistic at all though, just saying it is the easiest one to work with because of brand value - right now... :)
