There will not be any gratiutous changes (i.e., no new upstream version without a really good reason). However, there are still some RC bugs out there that are being squashed and this could lead to unexpected behaviors, as many of those which have been identified relate to the Sarge -> Etch upgrade.
That said, more testing is always welcome. But then, the OP also expressed a lack of courage to upgrade while Etch is still testing. Thus, I would not recommend an upgrade in that case. The people who upgrade now really need to be in the mode of wanting to look for and help correct bugs in the upgrade process. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
