- You may want to revise you current assumption. 3.0 will be very stable, if
- the pre-releases are any indication. We even found that pr1 was far more
- stable than we were ever led to beleive.... pr2 is even better...
-
- Don't hold your breath for 3.1, as 3.0 should be an extremely nice and stable
- release....
