I switched all the GreatCircle.COM lists (including List-Manglers) 
over to Mj2 a about 3 months ago.  We've been pretty happy with it. 
The only area where we've had some difficulties has been with 
digests; I haven't had time to dig into it yet, but the digest code 
seems somewhat flaky (one of our more active digests, for example, 
keeps getting stuck in a time warp, with old messages reappearing in 
the digest).

I'd have to say that the Mj2 documentation is already far better than 
the Mj1 documentation ever was...  In my opinion, about all that Mj2 
needs in order to be "released" is for somebody to package it up into 
the common distribution formats (Redhat .rpm and Debian .deb, to 
begin with).
