3.9.32 is just as stable as (if not more stable than) 3.12.  It's a
question of when Shawn wants to use the marketing term "4.0", and his
response: "not yet."  The "work in progress" is also a case of CYA
(cover your backside).  Frankly, I don't think there will be a 4.0
release until the BeOS code is finished (it already works on Linux and
Sindows).
