yes and no ... luatex's interfaces may change, as may some functionality 
(much starts as experiment, is tested, evolves, is optimized, etc); 
however, as long as you update the binaries and context mkiv at the same 
time you should be able to use it; about august 2008 much of the current 
api will stabelize; august 2009 we hope to have a complete api

i'm using luatex/mkiv is some projects since it's the only way to really 
torture test it (since taco and i are more or less constantly working on 
luatex/mkiv this is doable)
