You seem to miss the idea here.  You work with a version that supports 
your "feature needs" and find the sub-version that provides the most 
stability for your deployments.  Lets face it these boxes should go in 
and run for weeks, months or even years without much intervention 
(assuming the mission of the box does not change).  I'm running a 
1.2.7.something (i think) that has been running almost nonstop since 
installing.  Very reliable and stable for my needs.  Compared to a 
Merlin or Nortel or any other system out that I feel I have a much 
better product. 

Could I benefit from a newer sub-version? Maybe. 
Will I upgrade the box in it current roll?  No. 

Unless the application I use the box for has a major change (or the 
hardware dies) I'll just let it keep on running as it is.

For my future deploys I am working closer with 1.4.  The reason is 
clear.  1.4 is the future of asterisk.  When 1.6 or 2.0 comes out I'll 
investigate into migrating in that direction at that time because that 
will become the future of asterisk.
