2c:
In 6.4 the "experimental" designation has been removed. For 6.3.0, well
experimental gives thoughts of alpha-ware while it is probably more
accurately beta-ware. oh well. The main download page says for 6.3: "This
version is mature enough to be used for day to day work", I don't think
it's bad that the native MS Win versions has another warning..

We know in 6.3.0 there were many problems which have now been fixed: I'd
rather a user expected lots and lots of problems and only found a few,
than to expect none, find a few, and write the whole suite off as a pile
of buggy trash.

Also, I would hope to forget about 6.3.0 things and worry about 6.4rc now.
