I plan to have almost but one prod machines running NetBSD Stable,
rather than -current, just because I have no time to maintain them on a
roughly weekly basis - most of the job is automated (cvs, build kernel,
build world), but installing new kernel, then etcupdate is not, since I
prefer to do it by hand.

Well I think the best moment to do that is the branch point, when 1.6Z*
will become 1.7RC1, right ? 

I then just have to change my cvs command to use -r NetBSD-1-7, so that
I follow the 1.7 branch, including RELEASE, PATCH_001, etc.

Am I right ?

Thanks,
