I beg to differ here. The 2.5 series was for making sure everything 
worked. Once they renumbered to 2.6, it became production-ready. I don't 
understand how commercial software gets sneering comments about waiting 
for the first couple of patchsets before using it but open source can be

Sorry for the rant but sometimes what appears to be hypocrisy just drives 
me nuts.
