No one is suggesting, but I find very little "risk" associated with tracking the latest stable build, aka 5.4.2+snapshot. Its patch rev only. Of course, if you use Wonder, you may want to be two days behind any fix that Apple provides that Wonder has already addressed and needs to choose to incorporate/ignore. But, if you are awaiting various fixes that Apple may apply between minor release points, 5.4.2+ may not be a bad idea.
