Tom,

There are certain versions that are stable enough to use in production. 
  Several of us are using trunk based images on production machines.

You can upgrade from 0.6.7 to trunk using the upgrade function, but 
several steps are required afterwards to upgrade the firewall 
configuration.  If you use the web interface, you'll need to go to the 
Network tab, then select Firewall, and click 'save' on the Firewall 
page.  When you click, 'Confirm restart firewall' it will prompt you to 
update the firewall config files.  This assumes you are using the Arno 
firewall and not the astfw.  astfw is not recommended any longer.  It 
will not be included in the next release.

I want to get a note on the documentation page on the website about this 
upgrade process and will try to do so before we release some beta images 
for testing.  We have a few issues right now which affect very few 
people.  Once that's worked out, I'll build some beta images.
