Personally, no, but I know one guy who uses nothing else on "production"
servers.

It's a reason to avoid bleeding edge kernels on production systems.  New
problems will always be found until you get to the kind of testing
record that 2.0 has.  It's risk management and I considered using later
edition 2.4 kernels to be an acceptable risk.
