Let's call it "nearly stable" :-)

I've got an application I'm planning to build on InnoDB next week.
It'll be a fairly heavy update system that gets pounded during the
day.  I'm doing it after having heard the positive experience that
others have had with InnoDB.

And if all goes well, the application will be live and running in
production by the end of the week.

Indeed.

Yeah, BDB is probably going to become the ugly stepchild of MySQL
table handlers.  It's not really seeing active development, and InnoDB
will probably easily handle 95% of the cases that people might look to
BDB for.

In MySQL-Max they are, but you knew that. :-)

And in MySQL 4.0, I believe InnoDB will be compiled in by default.
(At least I believe that's what Monty said a while back.)
