Abstract: We define the extra-nice dimensions and prove that the subset of locally stable 1-parameter families in Cinfty(Nimes[0,1],P), also known as pseudo-isotopies, is dense if and only if the pair of dimensions (dimN,dimP) is in the extra-nice dimensions. This result is parallel to Mather's characterization of the nice dimensions as the pairs (n,p) for which stable maps are dense. The extra-nice dimensions are characterized by the property that discriminants of stable germs in one dimension higher have mathcalAe-codimension 1 hyperplane sections. They are also related to the simplicity of mathcalAe-codimension 2 germs. We give a sufficient condition for any mathscrAe-codimension 2 germ to be simple and give an example of a corank 2 codimension 2 germ in the nice dimensions which is not simple. Then we establish the boundary of the extra-nice dimensions. Finally we answer a question posed by Wall about the codimension of non-simple maps.
