I mean that, because no one Linux provider test their OS well (it oincludes
both, RedHat and Noivell, esp. Novell),
no one application (or driver) can be treated as _stable_ until it got
enough installation base and is tested in the real wild world.

For example, SLES9 iscsi had a serious problems until, approx, Sp2 (or even
some updates after SP2).

(Looks as Linux vendors never run stress laboratories and never run a
serious stabiliuty/performance tests. I have not other explanation, why
all -release versions had so many primitive stability bugs).
