At least it's fun to run -current on production servers :)
In case if you can have hot-swap server to test upgrades there and you
carefully watch this mailing list and can suspect which things will
break after each upgrade and which - not, it's OK.
Especially if you run opensource software, which can be recompiled at
any moment, and you can easility change servers without disturbing
working environment - why not?
