Not really. A lot of your Django use will *not* be "production use", particularly when you're learning (even when you're not -- development takes longer than deployment). By the time you get up to releasing to production, Django 1.1-final will be out, which will be recommended for production usage. The line in the release notes for the beta are expectation management for people who will otherwise unreasonably complain that unless they're spoonfed the obvious, they didn't understand what "beta" meant. They're true. The lines in the FAQ are also true, although the "fewer bugs" line is probably less true these days and we backport all bug fixes from trunk to the 1.0.X branch. However, 1.1-beta-1 probably does contain fewer bugs and definitely does contain more features than 1.0.2, so if you're just getting started with Django, it's probably more interesting to play with the 1.1 release.
