2.3.2 is much more stable than bleeding edge IMHO.  The CVS trunk is the
"bleeding edge", alpha / beta releases are the "cutting edge", and stable
releases are the production software.

If you are aware of any bugfixes that haven't made it into the 2.3 branch,
please tell us.  Of course, I'm sure you understand some bugfixes need
further testing before going into a "stable" release so they go into the
"unstable" release instead.
