Honestly?  If you're not anxious to roll with it, you might want to hold 
off a bit.  SuSE has announced that they're going with it as their 
default FS for the next release,  in November, and I have to imagine 
that there will be some shakeout after that occurs.

I *do* think it probably is more-or-less ready, but we all know what 
happens when something goes from a relatively small userbase to a 
suddenly much larger one.

$.02,
