Umm, I haven't had any problem and I am using it daily on production.
What problem do you have to got it work on Pharo?

That is a subjective opinion. As said before I haven't had any problem
with magma on pharo.

I prefer to use PharoCore for deployment and not worry about trimming a
squeak image when loading several images on production. The squeak
stable image is to big, and you must update it and then trimming it.
That is not the case with PharoCore. In it I just load the packages I
want and nothing else. Perfect for deployment.

Cheers
PS. to the "against-recommending-pharo" souls, this is not a pharo
advertisement, just I think that Magma is as stable and solid on Pharo
as is on Squeak, no matter its short life.
