[ns] ns-2 vs ns-3 for new project

Hi,

I've found this on the ns-3 wiki:

"ns-3 is a new software development effort focused on improving upon the core architecture, software integration, models, and educational components of ns-2. The project commenced in July 2006 and there have not yet been any releases (pre-alpha stage).

If you are looking for a simulator to currently use for research, please use ns-2. "

But there is a stable release, the June 2008 release, so my questions are:
Is the wiki outdated or the recommendation about using ns-2 still holds?
For a one year research work starting now, could it be reasonable to use ns-3?
Someone is already using it for research?

Thank you

Regards,
Damian Lezama
