    For read-only apps this is the way go (although switching to 3.0 is a
    good idea if you go this way, as 3.0 fixes a number of
    synchronization issues that affect shared context use). For read/
    write apps you can't do that.

    It depends. 3.0 is used in production by a number of people already,
    so the runtime is reasonably stable. What is unstable is the API for
    the new features - it can change between the milestones. If you are
    comfortable with using bleeding edge API, 3.0 is definitely a good
    option.
