I usually wait for the 1st patchset because it, under most circumstances,
fixes horrible bugs of the first release that cause database corruption
and/or instance failure. Stability is usually good after the 1st patchset,
that is my experience. Of course, there are patchsets, like 9.2.0.5 that
mess things up a bit, probably just to bring some change into our, otherwise
very boring and predictable, lives. As I've stated earlier, I'm a definite
example of the "1st patchset bigot" and I do intend to continue being one.
