I was planning on setting up a production server and after reading all your messages, it still isn't clear to me weather it is going to be -STABLE or -RELEASE. Chances are -RELEASE of course but if a bug is found (rare most likely but still possible) and isn't committed fast enough, isn't this a big problem for a production server?
