FWIW, I don't play with snapshots, but DO play with release candidates.
I have found (with other software) that snapshots tend to be quite
unstable. I can justify in my own mind spending the time to play with
RC's on a sandbox to become familiar with any changes in configuration
or operation so I am ready to go live with a final release.

Security patches are a different issue of course.
