It's just that each time I mention I'm using this, people tell me
taht it's experimental, and probably a bug in purple-matrix. But
it's at least not always clear to me where the bugs are, and there
seem to be various problems with the homeserver (synapse) too.

There are more problems with purple-matrix then that. For instance
from the description of the package itself:
 The following are not yet supported:
  * Creating new rooms (and one-to-one chats)
  * Joining existing rooms by alias instead of room_id

This is clearly lacking functionality that I expect. I now need to
use a different client to join a room.

Like I said, if you think that you can support this version
for the next 3 years, I have no problem with it. But I wouldn't
add it to a stable release yet in it's current state.
