We all know that, on a production system we have to use RHEL / SLES / LTS / 
Debian Stable / CentOS / Your_Fav_Stable_Distro only. 

I guess F9 is targetted at enthusiast desktop.

The keyword here is "production" , if you are running Amazon.com's payment 
processing systems, you want to take no risk. However, our own laptops & 
Desktops? I think should be fine. The software has gone through 
alpha->beta->rc and no major bugs are left. There are only small annoyances. 
As long as there are no data-trashing bugs that should be OK.

As someone pointed out, just because MS or Apple claim the product is 
finished, stable and RTM, it need not be (eg XP SP3, OSX Leopard)

At least in the FLOSS world we actually know the exact state of the software 
without the marketing smokescreen around it.

I wanted to highlight that there is no need for an alarm.

Thank you all for your comments.

Regards
Anand
