I don't think that uptime wars are the right thing to decide over the issue. What counts are the number of case where an upgrade to 4.x had an instant positive effect. I have several such occasions. In one case, the IDE hardware that crashed 3.4-stable reproducable worked under 3.1 when directly switching harddisks. Speaking of reproduceable, why didn't I debug the issues? In all these cases, the machines were for one reason or another not suitable for debugging (production machines, fixed frequency monitors, hard hang with no crashdump etc.). 3.x and especially the old wd driver wasn't important enough for me to go through the effort on a saturday->sunday night. It seems that other committers think on the same line and hence I want 3.x to die soon. (Where "die" means that no new users jump on it).
