If "not be production ready" means, there can be several bugs in it, this is 
O.K., and I (we?) can live with, because temporary workarounds will usually be 
possible.

...but if it means, that there will be several incompatible changes (syntax, 
methods, etc.) between 1.9.1 and 1.9.n (n>1), I (we?) will have problems, 
because this is the problem in using Ruby 1.9 now for (even small) pieces of 
Code, which will be used by third parties.

Will the list of features and the syntax be somehow stable in Ruby 1.9.1?
