Frankly, STABLE is pretty stable with some bumps along the road. Having run
HEAD on my work laptop and desktop systems for a few years including all
through the very messy transition from v4 to v6. Very seldom did I have
serious issues, though I did have to watch mail to current@ to avoid some
of the more serious breakages. Since FreeBSD-6, it has been pretty easy to
run HEAD. I do suggest avoiding it for a couple of months after the base is
fully thawed after a major release as lots of new code that has only been
lightly tested gets committed.
