That is true. At work we haven't switched to 5.3 yet. I have switched my private websites and development machine to see what goes wrong first.
At work we still have 5.2.10 But I don't think it will take long for 5.3 to become as stable as 5.2.10. And symfony will require 5.3 at some point. I am quite a Red Hat fan boy, because I grew up with it :-) And I like the pure open source philosophy of Fedora, because I am an optimist.
