OpenSAML user discussion

I'm working on using the OpenSAML2 library for our service provider code, and 
I just got around to reading the release note for the 2.1.0 release, and this 
snippet:

"This technology preview is meant as an early release to allow developers to 
comment on the structure and APIs.  No guarantee about the stability of the
APIs are made; they will likely change.  This release should NEVER be used in 
a
production system."

is putting my boss off.  Is this just a case of CYA?  Is anyone using this 
code in a production environment?  It seems relatively mature, what's the 
problem?  When is it anticipated to be stable enough to get rid of that last 
line?

thanks,
Bleu
