[asterisk-users] asterisk upgrade

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

I concur with Conrad.  As I understand it, as long as you stick with 
1.2.x versions, there should be no new 'features' to worry about 
implementing, only bugfixes.  So I'd recommend keeping up with them, and 
the 'upgrade' should go smoothly because it's generally not too much of 
an upgrade.

I'd recommend you stay away from 1.4.x until you've had ample time to 
test it (and it's had ample time to be claimed mature enough for 
production).  I'm not claiming 1.4.x is not ready for production, I bet 
there is a large number of peoples on the list using it happily in 
production, but you rightly seem to desire as little trouble as possible 
in the upgrade...  and the implementation of a few features has changed 
considerably in 1.4.
