  Given my recent experience with Firefox 3.5.5 crashing and previous
experiences (never use an even numbered release of RSX-11M), I'd say
that "most recent" and "upgrade" are not synonymous terms.  There is
a lot of reason to stick with a "mostly working" version until it's
proven that a new version is working better.
