A bunch of us over at openSUSE Forums are using it, some in a work 
environment. We find it quite stable so far, certainly stable within the 
expectations we have for a process that's not yet very old. We advise 
taking some elementary precautions and consequently we generally don't 
have any complaints. We watch the Tumbleweed Forum and more importantly 
we watch the Factory Mailing List and consequently stay well informed by 
those two media. I'm very pleased with the Tumbleweed distro so far. 
Keep up the good work.
