*Cough*
*All* versions of Spacewalk are (and will be) somehow development. 
Spacewalk will not be stable ever - in the same meaning as Fedora is 
never stable. I mean Spacewalk did not went through QA. Only developers 
and users tested it. You *should* expect bugs in every release. No 
matter if it is 0.4 or 1.0 or 5.0.

Either you are brave and skilled enough that bugfixing means challenge 
to you. Or if it means only worries to you, you should use Satellite 
instead. You will get QA and support with this. You should tell this to 
your manager.
