Isn't it time that we put this argument out of its misery?  It's been said a 
thousand times that 4.0 was released as a developer release.  Bleeding edge 
distros decided that there was an advantage in using it and users adopted it 
because they wanted the latest thing, without any concern for the fact that 
that made them testers.  You choose your distro for what you get out of it.
