I have used it in production and I have helped at least 2 other people in
not on this list use it for production, but am currently discouraged with
its status and am not using it for real work at the minute.

I don't mind 1.23 being on the CD though since I'm planning to keep my 1.15
installation until I see from this list that it is stable, has easier ways
to use my TrueType fonts and hopefully has more pdftex features.
