well, we've had several problems due to having 2.91.x releases, but most
of them are now fixed, and a lot of people (including myself) are using
it daily. So yes, some people encountered problems, but most of them
were due to the unstability of the software we were packaging and some
packaging bugs on our side. I haven't heard any serious problem which
hasn't been fixed since we packaged the final 3.0
