New important stuff includes: logical volume management and access control lists in the file system. The access control list feature is something that has been in Windows and Solaris for some time. If you're interested, you can download it here."

yep, we're aware of that, and working on it. Unfortunately we are only two (Keir Mierle and myself) and browser plug ins are not exactly easy to make (or debug). Keir will start working on different browser plug ins soon...

Beta is relative

Mandrake's cooker was more stable than my WinNT or Win2K boxen when I was keeping in sync with the dev trees.

Even the older libraries I rely on like libwww are under constant development, with bug fixes and enhancements showing up regularly.

The question is not whether an OS needs to be patched, but whether you're willing to wait for the patches and want to pay another 50% to get them with the "upgrade".
