You're still coding on it, right?
Parts (mirroring, striping, etc) may be finished and production stable,
but other parts are not.
I made the experience, that internal data structures, data layout
etc. of non-finished products may change. Even the finised parts may be
changed again.
Therefore, I run only fully released software on my production
machines. I know that this is no guarante for stability (take the
different MS-Word formats...), but I still think I'm better off this
way.
Kind regards,
-Walter
