Considering code quality in 4.2.1 (two forwarding bugs including one CEF 
bug), I'd say it's dubious to go for any .0 or .1 in any near future if 
one values network stability.

I wish they started doing some kind of staggered release where new hw was 
introduced in software that didn't have a lot of other features at the 
same time. If one wanted to run RSP440 immediately, there was no choice 
but run software with a lot of other new features as well.

But I guess it's good to go for .2 or .3 for any new major hardware 
release introduced in .0, because then there will have been other people 
living through 6-9 months of burn-in on the new software (because they 
wanted the new hw immediately) so in .2 a lot of things will have been 
fixed.
