FreeBSD Stable production version.

[Damien Fleuriot]

While I participate in this philosophy, a very good point was made on
this list that if everyone waits for x.1 , then x.1 will just be riddled
with all the bugs that nobody (or only a select few) found in x.0

That is the point that decided me to get 9-STABLE for 2 of our new
firewall boxes.
