Rails - Jun 2006 - rails not ready for production use?

All,

I am just getting started with Rails.
 Reading the Wiki though, I came across the following:

"IMO Rails is going
thru such heavy churn on all OSs that it is just not feasible for quality
production use unless you’ve got it perfectly setup and don’t do any
related updates (b/c there are waay too many dependency issues going
on)...."

How much of this is true?
 If I develop on Windows and deploy to linux, am I asking for trouble?
 Thoughts, opinions, concerns?

Regards,

Joshua

Regardless of the technology, I wouldn''t do that with any project.  Not
without testing on your deployment OS before production release.

I don''t agree with this statement.  Since Rails is such a new  
technology, change is just a way of life.  I don''t see why you  
couldn''t just develop your current application against 1.1.2 and  
upgrade the internal once 1.1.3 or 1.2.0 comes out.

Perhaps I should have been more clear,

We generally do development on Windows.
 Assembly Test, System Integration Test and Production are on *nix.
