It is in fact very stable. I would say that overall, it is considerably more
robust than 6.2--except when someone like me puts something squirrelly into
the cvs and breaks things. ;-)

But in all seriousness, I haven't seen a significant breakage of this sort
in 6.3 for awhile (months?), and any minor mistakes have been fixed in < 24
hours. So they have a very low chance of getting into William's binaries.
