Some of us use -current daily even for work stuff and rely on it, so I would not call it experimental. You may find an occasional glitch here and there, but -current tends to be pretty stable if you stick to supported hardware. As for the update schedule, it really depends on your use case. I update once a week (sometimes more often), but that's because I do some work on ports and I want to be sure that, when something fails, is not because of some out-of-sync problem in my environment, but because of the port itself or the chair-to-keyboard interface. -- Paco Esteban. 0x5818130B8A6DBC03
