baselayout-2 and OpenRC on new server: now or wait?

I'm migrating a server to a new system this weekend. The system itself is set up from scratch, it's just the data and (adjusted) configs that gets migrated. If I got it right, then baselayout-2 and OpenRC will become the default for Gentoo in a short time and I could start using it now. I'm now considering it for the new server because I think it would be harder to upgrade to baselayout-2 later and maybe breaking the system doing so (the installation will likely be running for a few years, updates included) than to use it from the beginning.

However, I don't know if baselayout-2 + OpenRC are already stable enough for use on a server system. Would you wait or prepare the system for it now?

c00l.wave,

baselayout2 has been good since mid 2007

I agree with yngwin, however do not expect baselayout2 to be stable soon in the sense of "gentoo stable".

It's upgraded now (everything went fine and the automatic conversions were all right). Thanks for your help!

In fact UberLord, I don't know why.
