Going on past releases; 4.x, 5.x and 6.x; you'd have to say that
the *.2 release has been the most stable release of any version,
by plenty.  The *.1 releases have never seemed to be much of an
upgrade from the *.0 releases, and as such, I now wait till the
*.2 release.  I don't believe the *.1 have ever been any less
stable than the *.0 versions though; just a few minor
changes/fixes and packages updates.
