I just don't want to get stuck running my daily desktop OS (FreeBSD) only to have a kernel panic or have XF86 lockup on me when I'm busy doing a programming assignment or an essay or something (of course, these things happen on -RELEASE (actually, just the XF86 lockups (I don't think I've ever had a kernel panic), and I think it's due to Matthew Dodd's unofficial Nvidia driver (or X) somehow; hence, I want to upgrade to 4.7 so I can use the official (albeit beta) driver!), but theoretically, they're rarer)... I suppose I'll consider it; lots of people seem to run -STABLE without too much trouble. :) I'd just feel more comfortable running -STABLE on a less-critical system (actually, if I had a box to test on, I'd run -CURRENT)...
