"bug free and stable" is a loaded question 
I've always found it easier to run a 'beta' site make the changes to that, if everything works, then just copy it over except for the links.pm file.
Even if something really works, it might not work for you in your situation, and if it doesn't work for you, it might work perfectly well for someone else.
I think that's the position I'm in now.
I'm going to wait for the next release before I deploy this code. It had some real improvements, but for what I'm doing I found that the previous version is still more production-ready than this one.
I think Alex tried to get the beta out a little too fast ... Even though it was late. It's a big job.
Once 1.1 comes out, I think we'll see a better ability to get everyone up to speed, and for our changes/suggests to mesh with Alex's improvements and vice-versa.
