NO! This is very WRONG!
You should only run the prime versions (10 x version must be prime).
Obviously, apart from OpenBSD 0.2, only odd-numbered versions are
prime, so DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR COWORKERS LEAD !!!
Run 4.3 now and wait for 4.7 ! You know it makes sense ! The
developers would only release prime numbered versions to the general
public, why have it any other way !?
In reality, it is much simpler. Only the even-numbered versions are really
suitable as Christmas gifts. Surprised? The odd-numbered versions are all
obsolete by Christmas.
