What's the point of doing a release if its not ready? Consider that it is the first release of the 3.x branch. Regardless of the OS or application a major release almost always means new features. Along with new problems. When the last transition from 2.1.x -> 2.2 was happening, I held back for that reason. I'm going to need some of the features in 3.0 very soon, but do realize the risk. For 2.2 I could wait. Don't forget the original problem was with a port, which admittedly they should be fixed or not included. At least they are marked broken if one but checks and reads the fine print. Call it a release with reservations. ;) I don't have any, it's solid enough for my needs, which are not trivial for one server.
