It's been in testing for a long time and is *VERY* stable, IMO.
It hasn't been released yet because the folks running Debian feel that
there are too many bugs. Too bad most commercial developers don't have
such high standards. If Debian wher a MS product Hamm would have been released
a long time ago. So would the umpteenth services packs to fix the whole
thing two or three times over!!

That's up to you. Does Bo do everything you want? Are there packages that
are only available in Hamm that you're interested in? Are you willing to
do a little bug testing?
My personal opinion is that Hamm is quite usable and that some of the packages
it uses are an improvment over those in Bo. I even have a couple of client
systems running Hamm...
