5.x downgrade recommendation

I've moved to the 5.x branch since 5.0-RLEASE, currently, I'm running
5.1-RELEASE.

I'm now considering if I will do the upgrade to 5.2-RELEASE, or
reinstall the system with 4.9 or 4.10.
The 5.x branch seems to remain rather unstable longer then I had
anticipated.

What would you guys recommend, wait out for 5.3 (which is supposed to be
4.x-like stable), or move back to 4.9 (or 4.10 soon).

Will 5.2 be much better?

I know I made the move too soon, but at that time, I was relatively new
to FreeBSD (coming from linux) and I misjudged the readiness of 5.x and
I hadn't forseen that my homeserver would become that important (It is a
CVS repository for 4 websites now).

Thanks for your advice

Guy
