I think that an obvious question that should be asked here is: (imagine
1.6.9 is the current stable branch)

"should I use 1.6.9.0.tar.gz or 1.6.8.0.tar.gz"?

1.6.9 probably has its share of bug fixes to 1.6.8, but more of 1.6.8's
bugs are known by now.

And imagine this being asked by someone who doesn't follow Asterisk's
developement full time and reads every message in asterisk-dev .


And if users start answering that with "1.6.8.0", is this considered a
problem?
