When last I did checkout from CVS for
NetBSD 1.5 I got 1.5.4_Alpha. And I assume
that when next I update from CVS it may be
something more recent yet. 

My question is: These numberings beyond the
release of 1.5.3 ... how trusted are they?
I had thought they were patch-releases or some
such, minor bug fixes and/or security enhancements. 

Am I correct in that? Or ought I to stick with
1.5.3 so as to assure a minimum of worries.
I'm to timid to run with -current and thought this
to be playing it safe. 

Thanks, 

Gan
