Yes, but I think all those people (including myself) can run their boxes 
with 2.07 because none of the features of 3.0 (like running unpatched 
systems as domU on VT or 64bit addressing) is really necessary on 
firewalls and TV-recording domUs.
And even if "bug reports have dropped dramatically" I would not use 3.0 
for a firewall at the moment, I think. :-)
