I am the maintainer of the texlive package (with openmaintainer) and

So It
seems to me texlive *2007* is stable enough. More, it is the same
package that is used in openBSD ports and pkgsrc so if there are bugs,
they should also occur for them.
On the other side, I don't have leopard, my mac is an old powerbook
ppc
with little ram (and I use it less and less) hence I cannot test
deeply
this package, neither correct bugs or feature requests*. So I would
encourage anybody interested in tex to join in maintainership.
Especially when texlive 2008 will appear.
I exercise some of the configurations you don't (leopard, intel,
plenty of disk/mips; 10.3, ppc) so I'm happy to help either implicitly
through openmaintainer or explicitly. I have considerably less
experience when it comes to *TeX innovations of the past 5 years
(XeTeX in particular) so it would still be good if someone who
exercises the font-heavy side of things were around.
Thanks,
Eric
