One might think so, but 2.2.8 only seems unstable on certain machine configurations. I've had a highly loaded db running on 2.2.8 since it first came out. I load-tested it pretty thoroughly before putting it into production, and of course now that it's in it's hard to upgrade it. But not a single crash or hiccup.
The machine is a pure-SCSI machine with a caching controller, and most of the complaints I've heard were for IDE systems (or perhaps slow SCSI disks?). Shrug.
