is plone 4.1 (almost) ready for production?

Question

as suggested here I'm going to try plone.app.theming which works with "Plone 4.1 or later".

The question is: how much far from a usable production version is plone 4.1 (currently 4.1b2)?

I had a look at the bugs' list and it seems that there are no major blockers for that. Is that true?

Not really a question for stackoverflow.com, is it. Perhaps better asked at http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/ ? — Martijn Pieters, May 05 '11 at 10:58
didn't know that... dumb question: is this the "official policy"? — simahawk, May 05 '11 at 13:52
It's the policy of Stack Overflow, see the [SO FAQ](http://stackoverflow.com/faq). — Martijn Pieters, May 05 '11 at 15:20

Plone 4.1 should see a release candidate very soon (which will then become the final release). There's no known blockers left anymore. If you start working on a new site, definitely go for it. For upgrades of existing sites I'd wait a little bit longer until the final release is out.

Currently running several smaller sites in production and a development version of a large touristic site (2 redundant servers, RelStorage with 16 Zopeclients) on Plone 4.1b2 without any issues so far.

Please note: the plone.app.theming 1.0b1 release seems to set the X-THEME-ENABLED header a bit too globally and therefore using the header as a condition in the portal_css tool doesn't have the expected result and your stylesheets will be included when accessing the unthemed host as well.

Please file a ticket in the Plone issue tracker for the plone.app.theming issue if you haven't yet. — David Glick, May 05 '11 at 23:51
