The official answer to your question is probably "no", but in my
experience, the answer is "yes".  I've been using 4.0 for about a
month and I've had absolutely no more weirdness with it than with
-stable.  Of course, it also might depend on which day of the week you
cvsup your sources.
I've also noticed that it boots *much* faster, at least twice as fast on
the same machine.  The pcm sound driver also works now for me.

I've done this before as well with no problems.
Good luck =)
