The "run versions >= x.x.6" is IMO an out of date trope. Not only does 2.1 have more than twice as many engineers working full time on it, and five times the QA engineers (which is cumulative with prior QA), we are also seeing many more users in the wild running release candidates and providing valuable feedback before release. This is evidenced by the fact there have been six release candidates, instead of just two for 2.0.
As such, whilst no software is bug free, 2.1.0 is likely to be considerably more stable than 2.0.0.
