It should hopefully be stable, but I'm not going to put the energy in to it that a regular stable release gets. Especially not with 80% of Xenofarm incapacitated at the moment.
For what its worth, the reason my openbsd/i386 xenoclient updates haven't been happening is because sometimes my xenoclient runs seem to like sitting idle for days at a time until I notice and login to kill pike. One pike process is sleeping waiting on poll, 4 makes are in idle wait, and there's a bunch of sh's in idle pause, and that's it. Killing the sleeping pike starts things moving again.
Stable pike releases seem to be few and far between. I just don't want to see another release come out that still has the same problems that I've already reported (especially simple ones like these), and then when I try to bug for a "real" stable release later getting an apathetic "we just did a release last month" in response. It appears as though convincing someone to make a stable release is quite a difficult task already, so I don't imagine it will be even worth trying when the reason will just be some minor configure fixes.
