I suppose that depends what you mean by stable.  It seems stable enough
for a number of applications today.  It's clearly not widely tested
since we haven't shipped a release based on it.  It's possible some of
the issues of memory requirements won't be fixable in 7.x, but I don't
think that's a given.
