Not sure I understand the reluctance to try 6.5.1 ... the time to
download, install and try out isn't very long: there is a good chance
it will fix a bug that's annoying you: and you can easily go back if it
introduces something you don't like.

Being "released" doesn't mean its been magically annointed with
anti-bug pixie dust, it just means its been through a formal test
-and-release cycle.  And while this is undoubtedly valuable, the
testing is certainly not as comprehensive as the testing that's going
on in the hundreds (?) of live systems that are using it every day.  If
there is a lurking bug waiting to bite you that is still unknown and
unreported, it will therefore probably still be there when "release"
happens! 

And you can be confident that no-one at slim is going to tell you "its
unsupported" if you report a problem with 6.5.1 (which makes it
entirely different from 7.0 at the moment - anyone trying that out is
definitely on their own).

The main risk as I see it of picking up a nightly is that there is a
chance that a "silly" bug has crept in to that particular nightly
(something blatant like a bunch of files missing) which is always fixed
immediately. If you're unlucky enough to get one of those, go back and
get another one.

YMMV
