I measure stability by how well something works, not by how many releases it has had. MySQL replication is getting better, but it does still have major problems. Sure, it's good enough to power huge sites (we use it here as well), but it's frustrating to deal with. Fortunately it's being used by web 2.0 companies and not banks, so generally if a slave is corrupted and returns weird results, customers aren't going to be too upset and in a lot of cases might not even notice, but it's still an annoying problem to deal with. I wonder how many more releases it's going to take for them to get it solid.
