I can think of several issues of the top of my head: - rt_check bug in network routing causes panics under certain circumnstances (my favorite) - ZFS relatively often panics the system under high load - Something's also wrong with UFS under certain circumstances (this one hasn't bit me yet) Of these, first one has a patch (as of yesterday) that is very likely to solve the problem, the second has a temporary-looking patch to patch around the problem, and the third bug is still not tracked down yet. There may be more. I seem to recall there's something in the TCP/IP stack but it has never bit me so I don't know the details. The point is - you *don't* want an unstable operating system on a production machine. It's best we all wait until these get solved. Yes, theoretically there could be a release with these known bugs still unresolved, but I recall at least one previous release that did that (IIRC 6.0 with (g)vinum was unbootable under some circustances) and that has resulted in a bunch of negative press toward FreeBSD.
