Unstable or not, I've been using it for about two years on gentoo with no problems other than getting to know a different way of dealing with device permissions, and some pretty arcane syntax I must admit. If it's setup properly, all the old names are there, and you shouldn't need to worry. Stable depends on your viewpoint. It works 100% for me, and for the most part I'm not even aware it's there.
