I said at the time that 3.0 wasn't ready, and so did Greg Lehey, IIRC.
It was he who said something to the effect that the so-called "beta
testing" was actually integration testing.

I didn't start recommending 3.x for production environments until after
3.2 came out and had taken enough pounding to give me some confidence in
it.

I'm not blaming anyone, nor am I saying that I would have run things
better, but I *am* taking issue with the accusation of revisionism.
