The release of SMP is likely to be rocky in any case, simply because it will
hit a wider audience when it is integrated and released, rather than holding
a narrow focus as it does when it's only available in source form (unless
someone's actually compiled a binary snapshot).

So, no, we won't be seeing a release of junk, per se, but I honestly expect
that it's going to be a rough first trip while all the fringe cases get
nailed.  The rough edges are worth the trip, really.
