> In fact, we're already running beta1 in production for Basecamp, so you know it's been taking a good beating. This helped us catch a couple of performance regressions, and we've verified that everything is still spiffy fast on Basecamp.

Wow. Well, having enough faith to run Basecamp off of it -- and the fact that 4.0 was a very smooth transition from 3.2 -- is enough reason to play around with this beta for a project.

Edit: nevermind, don't think I can handle this feature removal: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/c300dca9963bda78b8f358...

I don't work at 37signals, but it's my understanding that Basecamp has often been running near HEAD Rails. Everyone on the team tries to keep some apps running on edge before a release to catch regressions.
