The new functionality in 3.1 is still very fresh and I would rather people had to make a deliberate decision to install the new code in order to use it, rather than just finding that it works and assuming that it is completely reliable. I have received some very valuable feedback on 3.1 already and will fix a number of issues in 3.1.1. At that point I suspect I will suggest people upgrade.
