I'm using sugar-jhbuild in Ubuntu Intrepid.

Very little :/

Not yet, and seems that it won't happen soon, given that all available
resources are going to stuff that is needed by young children and that
might not improve general usability/efficiency. Hope it will change,
not sure when.

I would say to test whatever is going to be deployed. And we know that
Sugar won't be deployed only on XOs because most Sugar deployments
won't be able to get those machines. At a first, seems like SoaS is
the Sugar distro that is better positioned to get deployed in the near
future.
