3.4.0whatever is essentially 3.3.2 with additional bug fixes that will 
also appear in 3.3.3 plus a few additional bugfixes that were not 
backported plus new features. The only things 'unstable', compared to 
previous releases, are the new features.  For one thing, the APIs may 
still be changed.

If you have any code with automated tests, it is  good idea to run them 
now with the alpha.
