The problem is the exact opposite, the fact that mysqlnd is not
default makes the bugs hunting harder for this backend. Most bad bugs
(thread safe related for example) come from the windows where mysqlnd
is already the only and default option. So having more users now in
5.4-beta will only help to make it even more stable.

While limysql is still a good alternative (slightly faster in some
cases) and does not have some of the TS issues we meet with mysqlnd,
but both are certainly temporary states.
