And the fact of the matter is that things *do* go wrong; and that engineers need to fix it then and there. If you need want to run a specific SX release in production, you will need to run acceptance and stress testing and you will need to let it "mature" a bit. After it has run for a while on Sun's internal systems the worst of the kinks will have fallen out. I run Solaris Nevada on my home firewall; but I recently skipped two builds because of issues with ipfilter and ZFS.
