The choice to ship with a beta version of the new DE is interesting. Is it that stable now and will there be a clear upgrade path to the final release?

I'm tempted to grab the beta myself and just go for it now...

Edit: fuck it, I just upgraded my install. Not like I do much important on my computer anyways. This is really nice, almost no pain from the upgrade and other than a couple of menus staying open when I click off of them it's been running just fine. Now to abuse it...
