    Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean, but for me, proved stable is a couple of years of being in a major distribution, with people actually using it.

    Now that major distributions no longer ship development kernels, (Slackware used to - I have slackware CDs with 1.3.x trees on them, for example), this is a less valid point.

    ..and I'm sure the three people actually using it haven't found any bugs yet ;-)

    ..and yet there are still complaints that it doesn't work every day on the list.

    Still marked as experimental, though. Not stable yet.
