That's my experience, too.  When I was told that in order to get my
wireless device working I would need to upgrade to STABLE, I shuddered
with the fearful anticipation of using a "development version" of the
O/S.  But it has lived up to the name STABLE.

Likewise with recently released ports.  Occasionally there's a breakage,
but I've always (touch wood) been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is
to set things right.  Not like the "can't get there from here without a
wipe and load" situations in which I often found myself during the 20
years in which my main system ran Windows (oh, the waste!)
