I read the "our most conservative users" to mean "our users who never apply patches or upgrade until they are 6 months old". Plus, if you notice, they are saying "use 5.1, 5.2, 4.9, or if you are paranoid, stick with 4.8" - and I understand, it's basically the same thing I tell a user who is prone to complain about every change or bump when moving to something newer. For those users, I say "if you don't like the pain of change, don't change". I can't argue with your interpretation - it's perfectly valid. So - use 4.8.
