You keep saying this as if it's somehow unusual that 6.3 has a lot of
open bugs. Yet even a cursory look at the PR list (admittedly based
just on the specific drivers you mentioned early on, but presumably a
decent random sampling) shows that most of the remaining open issues in
6.3 are not new, and were present in 6.2 or even as far back as 6.0.
Certainly there are plenty of issues that were fixed in 6.3 that were
present in the 6.2 version you're already running.
In other words, you haven't provided any real support to back up your
claim that 6.3 is significantly "less stable", for whatever that means,
than 6.2. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the anecdotal, first-person
experience in running 6.3 in production indicates quite the opposite --
that it's *more* stable than 6.2. You've already stated that you don't
want to side track this thread with specifics about your exact bugs.
The problem is, without specifics to back up your claims of instability,
they are (in your own words) little more than hyperbole. It shouldn't
surprise anyone that you got a negative reaction to that kind of statement.
