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.
