Even in a preview state of development, Zend Framework is used in production sites, but it is understood that the API (including core functionality) is subject to change. Even between 0.1.5 and the latest SVN version, half a dozen new classes have been added, there are changes to Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter parameter expectations, and Zend_InputFilter has become Zend_Filter_Input. Zend_Db is constantly evolving. Zend_Config is expected to change. If you are comfortable with change--updating parameters, changing class names, and incorporating new components to replace your own custom code--then you'll be getting a good base to build on that will be actively supported for years to come. -Matt
