Perhaps choosing words that less drastically separate the two versions 
will make it psychologically easier to bridge the gap that makes readers 
into editors.

"This is the public version. An updated, editable draft is [[here]]."

I think this would still get across the point that one is more stable 
and reliable, without creating an atmosphere that denigrates the ongoing 
process.
