Uh... If you are running 3.1 then you aren't "tracking stable". :-) I'd certainly recommend that as a prudent course for production systems. Some would argue that freezing on a particular snapshot is the best strategy for maintaining stability for "production systems". I believe that a complete strategy includes monitoring the activity on the stable mailing lists *and* watching the updates to software installed from the ports systems. It's nice to have a few spare machines for building and testing prior to production deployment. Larger installations can benefit by having a local FreeBSD mirror (CVSup/WWW/FTP).
