And he was proven more then right.. since then the OOM zapper has been
changed, lots of races have been fixed, a couple of disk corruption problems
founds and fixed, etc. I wouldn't trust it for a few months at least..
Generaly 2.x.6 or 7 is the first really solid release, but Linus does
things a bit different now so hopefully 2.4.5 will be the one to wait
for.
