I don't understand the question -- there were bugs, and quite a few API 
changes (particularly through the 2.5 cycle), but I'm not unhappy about 
that - that's what development versions are for.

Sure it does -- that's why they are different versions! We want wxPython 
to get better, and that does mean changes, not just bug fixes and added 
features. Oh, and a bug fix is a change in behavior, too.

I know what you mean, stability of interface is a good thing, but 
progress is good, too. Personally, I'd rather see more progress at the 
expense of API stability on wxPython, but that's just me.
