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....
