	FWIW, I have tended to work it this way...  I keep subscribed to
the most current non-beta release list while still running one or two
minor version numbers back on most of my systems.  I've found, that for
release specific problems, the errata/updates have been enough to keep
things running and 98% of the time when some weird specific problem comes
up it's usualy already been answered in the current list anyway.
