In my particular organization, I have a mix.
* some systems that are about to get replaced are on 1.2
* other systems that have very high usage and we're rolled out about a
year ago are on 1.4
* the newest applications that are live are on 1.6.0 series
* the applications that are in pilot and will be replacing the 1.2 are on 1.6.1

When systems or applications have been getting scaled or upgraded or
released, I've built and tested against whatever was current, or if I
needed a future-release feature I grabbed that feature.

All the code is there. You can use whatever you want as long as you
are keeping up with the security alerts and you know you are mitigated
or safe.
