It's reasonable for people who update and build their own software
image to do some level of qualification of the result, before
deploying this to production systems. Whether you track -STABLE or
the security branch for your initial release ought to be determined
more by your preferences to minimize the scope of OS updates versus
your desire for relevant new functionality.
