Stability is incredibly necessary to stop geneticists from just loading themselves up with every good power and ravaging the station as unstoppable mutant gods.
Personally, I think Genetics needs a nerf, not a buff. And no, I'm not just saying that to be a jerk. The fact of the matter is that Genetics has gotten a number of massive buffs in recent months, many of them apparently crafted with the hope that making things easier for geneticists would encourage them to cooperate with the rest of the station, but instead they've just led to geneticists being even more isolationist and overpowered than before, and were abused so badly that many of them had to be removed or given a balancing factor. It's clear that positive incentives aren't working - if we want Genetics to stop hogging all the powers for themselves, we need to make that play style harder, not easier.
