I'll back this up, Yesod has quite an extensive book with tips and tricks
including corner cases and such: http://www.yesodweb.com/book

FWIW I think he means the API changes, not that the software itself is
runtime-stable. The "developed actively" may imply a changing API. I don't
know whether this is true, but I think that's what he meant.

Anyway, I doubt maturity as in runtime stability matters that much to
newbies.
