That's why we're running it on our slaves.  I just put 4.0.3 on 2 of
them earlier today.  (Well, *my* build of 4.0.3, but I suspect that
it's really close to the offical one coming out.)

I hope to upgrade the master soon too...

I've found 4.0.x to be solid.  We've run hundreds of millions of
queries thru it so far.  The ORDER BY optimizaiton is great.  And
we've begun using the query cache in demand mode--very nice too.
