Yeah, the general rule I follow is that I don't let IOS X.Y(Z) touch a 
pseudo-production router until Z is at least in the high single digits and 
the severe defect list grows shorter, or the defects are mainly in exotic 
pieces of the image that I'm not likely to run across.  I Generally don't 
Deploy IOS images across the production network until they go GD.

Lab routers are another story - they're meant to be crashed :-)
