just trying to decide whether too soon to upgrade.
relatedly, is Revo 2.0 considered stable enough for live sites?

You would use 2.0.8 for a production site and 2.1 RC4 can run a production site (I’ve done it), but it’s still in development so use it with care... It should be PL status in the near future.

I’d currently say 2.0.8 is more stable, yes.
A lot has changed in 2.1 and not everything has been as tested quite as much as 2.0.8.
I’ve been using the RCs on new projects a few weeks prior to launch and it’s stable enough for that. If you need a site out yesterday I would just stick with 2.0.8 for now - you don’t want to be delayed with that cause of bugs popping up.

That’s a good point Mark.
The site we recently launched on 2.1 took a bit of extra work updating some snippets and such. There are some nice features and if you regular work on/maintain the site 2.1 is worth checking out, but if you need stable 2.0.8 is the place to be. We needed the extra speed on the site so 2.1 was a somewhat easy choice.
I’ve been running a public site on 2.1-RC3 for a while and it’s been very stable, although it doesn’t use many add-ons other than Wayfinder and ones I’ve written myself. The Captcha in SPForm is broken, but otherwise it’s been fine.
