But, but, but....Maverick hasn't been released yet!

The only thing around is RC1 - and there are very specific statements 
not to use in a production environment.

And also that RC1 is to be used to report bugs!

Maverick, Ubuntu 10.10, will be released in 4 days from now - 10 October 
- so why not wait until then?
