i'm using a few instances of 3.8 -dev with out any issues so far on some 
live sites...

give it a try but at your own risk.


the other option is to create a user group that will naturally sit at 
the top of the list alphabetiaclly (as the page access rights will be 
assigned from this group at the top of the list)  and then have all 
users as members of that group.  then have all users create/save content 
so that it is editable by them, there group, and everyone and then with 
the addition of various user groups control page access and feature access.

hope this makes sense.  I did this instead of switching back to 3.6 at 
some points along the way
