% I working in a project to be released 6 months from now. We are

A development version is never "stable", but the mysql folks tend to be
pretty good about their releases. To quote the manual from 4.0.6-gamma:
2.2.3 Which MySQL Version to Use
The MySQL naming scheme uses release numbers that consist of three
numbers and a suffix. For example, a release name like
mysql-3.21.17-beta is interpreted like this:
...
* The suffix (beta) indicates the stability level of the release.
The possible suffixes are:
+ alpha indicates that the release contains some large section
of new code that hasn't been 100% tested. Known bugs (usually
...
release. There should be no known bugs in any MySQL release.
+ beta means that all new code has been tested. No major new
...
+ gamma is a beta that has been around a while and seems to
work fine. Only minor fixes are added. This is what many
other companies call a release.
+ If there is no suffix, it means that the version has been run
for a while at many different sites with no reports of bugs
other than platform-specific bugs. Only critical bug fixes
are applied to the release. This is what we call a stable
release.
Since the development branch is at 4.0.6-gamma, it's pretty stable. You
might also check out section 1.2.3 "How Stable is MySQL?".
