well for Symfony2 there were two major sites running on Symfony2 pre alpha versions (2 years ago) .. and several others more in alpha. Obviously these teams had to spend a fair bit if time keeping up with all the BC breaks before the stable release, but it helped a lot in ensuring that Symfony2's stable release was ready for the real world.

We were running pre-alpha back then, too :)

The performance over our previous ZF app (practically 1-to-1) was huge!

Upgrading was a pain each time, but as a result we all become intimately familiar with the internals and even contributed a fair bit to the core.
