"Stable" and "RouterOS" seems to be an oxymoron of sorts as of late, much to my 
great...annoyance.  Yeah, I guess we'll go with that word for now.

For those still running 6.7, that was the last version before the great PPP 
subsystem rewrite of yore, which was intended to make it scale better on 
multicore systems, but had the added negative effect of introducing a ton of 
bugs that took forever to work out.  So 6.7 makes sense as far as a stable 
version goes, if PPP is a concern of yours.  I would love to stick with 6.7 
myself, but unfortunately, BCP was broken throughout 6.x up until 6.8, so I 
cannot have both old, stable PPP code and BCP support in the same version.

MetaROUTER is also a complete cluster these days, too.  I've been spending the 
better part of the past 2-3 weeks dealing with MT support over issues related 
to that, and I'm about at the end of my rope, TBH (although it is starting to 
look like it might actually be CAPsMAN's fault...some sort of kernel-level 
memory corruption bug that is more likely to make itself obvious if you run it 
on the same system with a MetaROUTER).

The gang at MikroTik is showing some signs lately of becoming more open and 
actively, publicly communicative about problems with their software, though.  
I'd suggest perusing the forums to get a feel for how the particular feature(s) 
you care about are faring these days in the most current version.
