Hi

I don't know what I'm going to say is going to help you and is a bit off topic.

What i do is for production boxes is i maintain the box on eg 5.4 and update that release with patches until a new release eg 5.5 and then upgrade to that.

I believe (you can prove me wrong) is that _stable_ is stable but is not as stable as a release with updates.

I do have machine with stable and current but thats for development and testing.

but if that 5.5 is released, is that important to running update again to get to stable branch?

    You got the right version. The 5.X stable branch is now called
    5.5-PRERELEASE. After 5.5 gets release it becomes 5.5-STABLE.
    Similarly,
    the stable branch for 6.X is now 6.1-PRERELASE and it will be called
    6.1-STABLE after 6.1 comes out.

It depends on your demand. If you feel like updating again, do so, if not, that's no problem. The stable branches are changing quite fluently, it's up to you, how often you update. If you don't have any problem with your installation, you don't need to update very often.
