On a related note, I know that following CURRENT is a game of risk, but are current branch releases (such as 5.1-RELEASE) intended to be a bit more stable and usable than staying constantly up to date with CURRENT? In other words, is there a pretty good chance that 5.2-RELEASE won't break my (non-production) workstation too horribly when it comes out? Or does it carry the same exact risks as following CURRENT?
