The resolution was to have two active branches at the same time, so by
that, it would be netbsd-1-4 that's due to close soon. In theory, all
three are currently open, but there has been very little activity on
netbsd-1-4 since NetBSD 1.4.3 was released.

Only you can say whether netbsd-1-6 (currently NetBSD-1.6_BETA4) is
stable enough for you. I've just started updating my i386's at home
and work from 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 to netbsd-1-6, but I'm running current
(1.6D) on a couple of mac68k's, and it's all pretty stable right now.
I predict that NetBSD 1.6 will be pretty compelling, and that most
users will upgrade soon after it becomes available.
