Elive, the distribution dedicated to E16 and E17, has reached the magical 1.0 barrier. "This version is ready for the end-users and not just hard core testers. It is a more intuitive easy to use and more efficient system. It has better integration of the file-manager and the mime-types, a nice kernel especially for multimedia and big processes loads, a light weight foot print, much better compatibility with your (possible) Windows system/software, more hardware supported, better graphical recognition, and many more things that you can find in the complete changelog."

I'm not so sure about the 'eternal beta' or any of that: Given that they're building all of their toolkits (almost) from the ground up (and doing quite a good job of it too, I must admit I'm jealous of some of the ideas), three years isn't a very long time. And I'm not sure how something can be in beta, and have people complain about a stable release, when there hasn't even been an official release yet.
I want to see a stable E17 as much as the next person, but I can also appreciate withholding until it's done - especially since desktop icons were only recently added. They'll get there in time, and I suspect when they do, they'll make stable releases as often as they do of E16.
