It has been soft-released to the FTP server. Soft-releases are officially supported.
I won't call it "recommended", though. You can install it if you're desperately waiting for a patch that's contained in it or if you're willing to be an early adaptor. There may be issues as with any other release, even GA releases may have problems (Hey, it's software!). We do soft-releases 1-2 weeks before GA release to have the chance of fixing any showstoppers found on customer systems who were willing to install it.
The average customer who doesn't like to mess with the system should wait for the Up2Date package being distributed automatically.
