Well there was plenty of notice/warning about 3.0 being the first cut and was to be for experimentors and early adopters. I got a notice on my subscription about 2 months ago - and they suggested that you wait until at least 3.1 for a production environment. Installing a new release on a production system within days of its' release always has the chance of being dicey. No matter how much you beta test something still seems to come out that was missed. On another OS I just got a 56 page list of bugs that were fixed from the previous version to the shipping version. There were some very good people on the beta test for months - and there are still things popping up that weren't seen before. Bugs beget bugs. Or removing one makes another bug apparent.
