I am not sure what the term General Availability means - somehow it
sounds more like public beta rather than current stable version. By
stable I mean a version which has been deemed suitable for production
use. I am sure even kernel version 2.5.7 is supposed to run properly
without crashing. No one will stop you from using it in production. But
I am sure there would be a very select few people who would like to jump
up and say that 2.5.7 is the one for production release.

Uhh whats the point of that ?? www.apache.org has been running the 2.x
series for more than 8 months - you dont consider that as a production
environment ?? It doesnt really mean everyone was supposed to follow
their path and move their servers from 1.x series to 2.x series.
I really hope you dont consider a crash as the main criteria for
determining whether a application should or shouldn't be considered for
production use.

After you go ahead and recommend it to everyone for production use you
say it is not complete yet ???

Yup I would recommend it to everyone who want to test it out for future
production use since that is the way things are going to move but no dont
go ahead and upgrade your production servers right away.
