I don't think o-b-a-f by itself is sufficient reason to upgrade :-)
I'm not going to say anything new or profound here, but it's worth
reiterating:
- if you depend on current org for "production" (with deadlines and
deliverables that cannot be compromised), then you should probably
leave your work machine alone. If you want to test, you should probably
install master on a different machine (if you don't have a different
physical machine, a VM will do fine) and test carefully before
upgrading your work machine.
- if you can afford some breakage in your workflows and can either debug
the failures or provide detailed information (backtraces, profiles
etc) about them, I think the devs would appreciate that, but any
testing you can do is probably worthwhile.
- That said, I think master is very stable, but there are backward
incompatibilities in various places (check ORG-NEWS for details
and the mailing list for breakage reports to see if they would affect
you). The sooner you start getting ready, the smoother the transition
will be.
