Unstable or not, I've been using it for about two years on gentoo with
no problems other than getting to know a different way of dealing with
device permissions, and some pretty arcane syntax I must admit.  If
it's setup properly, all the old names are there, and you shouldn't
need to worry.

Stable depends on your viewpoint.  It works 100% for me, and for the
most part I'm not even aware it's there.

As the old Potshot cartoon on my fridge says: (Man looking across a
canyon to someone on the other rim): "Come over to my side; the view
is much clearer from here!"
