Pup 2.17 or 3.01 for new KDE Puplet?

[GrantsV]

I am happily using Pup 3.01 for work on my new pup remaster. But I was wondering what the key differences were between 2.17 and 3.01 as I understand 2.17 is much more stable and mature.

I am wanting to strip pup down to bare bones (or use a barebone remaster), install KDE to replace JWM/Rox and many provided apps (CD Burning etc).

I see there is a stripped down version of 2.17 so was considering that as my base, but also I don't want to lose any integrated hardware detection or other fundamental features that might be improved in 3.01 over 2.17.

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

One difficult hardware I encountered uses an I/O chip "Winbond W83627HF" for which 3.01 had some difficulty. 2.17 easily handled it.

I believe that if you want to make a new puplet that you use 2.17, its much more mature, and i heard that work on Puppy 3 was suspended indefinably, idk if that is true.

Just now you see bright spots in 3.01:
