Since 0.18, I've learned to listen to this list - and trac before upgrading :)
Though new features might be interesting to try out - it will often
wreck the WAF.

For the same reason - I'm still on 0.24, with year old nvidia drivers
- as it's currently the most stable solution for me.
Remember, if it ain't broken - DON'T FIX IT !
