Which usually isn't required: "Over the past couple of months, I've been starting to wonder if the Quality of FreeBSD's -STABLE branch has been deteriorating, to the point that trusting it for any sort of "loaded server" environment is coming into question ..." and... "Am I expecting too much from FreeBSD-STABLE? Would I fair better if I moved down into RELENG_4_7 and avoided -STABLE altogether?" So I and others have been answering what you asked.

If there's a bug, you check the mailing list, PR database, etc. and file a PR as needed (send-pr(1)). Developers address PRs when they have time. I think send-pr is a useful mechanism. The key is having a process in place that lets you find bugs to report in staging vs. your production environment.
