A380 Reliability

Does anyone know how reliable the A380 has been? The aircraft has been in service now for several months, and if its been like any new Airbus, the E.I.S (entry into service) would have been a nightmare for the operator.
Hope Airbus have sorted out reliability issues with new types, as when the Airbuses "settle in", they are the most reliable aircraft around.

As far as I know, only problems have been with fuel pumps/systems.
First in February for a pump relay I think, then in march the second 380 was grounded with fuel pump problems.
Other than that it seems to be holding up!
The way the test pilots at Airbus 'rag' them round the skies, there ought to be a lot more problems with the test aircraft

Heard a rumor about composite floor structures bowing under the weight of the substantial galley equipment. Anybody know if there's any truth to this?
