I really wish they had waited until 9.5R4 was out to release this stuff,
after all it had already been almost a year, and they gave out enough
information to make these attacks easily reproducable.

In our experience 9.5R3 has been "mostly ok", i.e. nothing is really
really broken. The closest thing to bad is a one-time mystery rpd crash
which seems to duplicate a backtrace we saw in 9.4R3, everything else is 
in the annoyance category (for example if you hit ctrl-c in the cli 
anywhere other than at the prompt it locks up the cli process :P). I've 
certainly seen worse. :)
