Without a doubt I have to say the old saying applies dont try to fix what isnt broke, so goto 6.3 and by the time that is EOL then 7.x should be matured and a 7.1 release will exist which I have no doubt will have fixed bugs that we dont know about now. 6.0 was the same story we were all urged to upgrade our servers to it and for many people was fine but of course there was unforseen problems that had to be fixed in 6.1 and 6.2 it is a catch 22 it needs wider scale usage for problems to be found but people wont necessarily move their servers over willingly as the risk of things breaking is too high. I have a hobby server on 7.0 beta 3 but all my web servers are staying on 6.x for the forseeable future unless I have a good reason to move to 7 even taking into account the work that has gone into improving mysql performance.
