Thoughts on 7.3b3 in production?

From
"Brett Elliott"

I have heard that Postgres betas are relatively stable so is it
safe to assume that 7.3b2 could be used reliably in production?
Any known issues with the beta?

Also, what does 7.3b2 offer that 7.2.3 doesn't have? Much better
performance?

Thanks.

Betas are not for production use.  If you have a bug that is only fixed
in betas, you may want to try it.
