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.
