It's currently Gamma code.  It's close to production quality in the
eyes of the developers.

 so does the mysql developers suggest that mysql is still unstable or 
 non-production yet? i'd love to use some 4.x features, but i am 
 reluctant of migrating my max-3.23.53a installations over to max-4.0.5 
 because of this. is migration recommended/acceptable now? (yes, i know 
 the if it ain't broken, don't fix it saying. but i could use some of 
 the new features of 4.x...)

We've been using it in production at Yahoo! since 4.0.2.  Our master
is still at 3.23.51 (for one more week) but the slaves have been
running various versions of 4.0.x.
