The thing is you already have modules for 4.1-Stable installed and will have to back them out. I also think you will find fewer things broken on 4.1-Stable than with the release. Someone who wasn't involved with testing the transition from 4.0-stable to 4.1-R always seems to have something that needs to be fixed in the first week or two.
