There is the occasional "aww dangit" in CURRENT. Ironically, I run CURRENT on my desktop, but not on my servers because an "aww dangit" (no matter how quickly fixed in CURRENT) has the potential to really screw up my day if it happens on a critical network service (I'm the only OpenBSD guy in my IT department, though the Director is quite fluent with FreeBSD). My production machines run STABLE.

So it depends, I suppose. If an issue only occurs in CURRENT once every 2 years, is that too much for your production environment? You could always stick to snapshots and watch the mailing lists to see which snapshots have issues reported, but usually snapshot updates happen faster than issues being reported. Do you have a test machine you can install snapshots on?
