It's great if it works for you but fact is that 4.0.4 has some regressions that make it unstable for a lot of users. Some of the problems seem to be FreeBSD specific but it does also not look great on other platforms. From what i've seen they are currently fixing lots of bugs upstream so I expect that the situation improves a lot with 4.0.6.
