I'm skipping the release for tonight. There was one regression issue introduced last week: Random not working in HTML databases.

Finally, all releases are considered stable. So, whenever a patch release comes out, it will be promoted to the official download for all new users. If it's safe enough for new users to try, it's definitely safe enough for existing users as well.

This was an issue I discovered when generating the 2016-12 English Wikipedia. It takes about 25 hours to dump English Wikipedia on an 8 core machine. Due to recent changes with Embeddable (using XOWA as a MediaWiki parser), this number grew to about 36 hours. In some cases, it even failed with OutOfMemory exceptions.
