If you /track/ STABLE by frequently cvsupping it and rebuilding your

systems.
I did exactly that all the way from 2.0 to 4.11 on various machines
without ever having any trouble.
Ditto ... in fact, I do that on my desktop and have yet to hit a problem
... -STABLE *is* generally very stable ...
Stupid question here ... if -STABLE shouldn't be tracked, who exactly is
doing testing on it? Those doing "the work" on -CURRENT, I would imagine,
are tracking -CURRENT, and testing the code put in there for bugs ... when
deemed 'bug free', then its being MFCd to -STABLE, but if those of us that
*are* tracking -STABLE stop'd tracking it ... who would be testing it?
