We are toying with the idea of crafting a policy that we only upgrade
to a terminal release of a given version (e.g. 8.1.7, 9.0.1.3) in most
cases, unless a different version is required by a vendor. It seems
that these terminal release versions tend to be the most stable. Anyone
else doing that?

Clark Griswold: Eddie, has anyone ever told you that you're bad luck?
Cousin Eddie: Those were my mother's dying words. But I guess if your
body's covered in third degree burns, and your foot's caught in a bear
trap, you tend to start talkin' crazy.

I thought the original question was what is more
stable 9.0 or 9.2.
If that is the basis for your decission stick with
9.0.1.3 or better until 9.2 gets a couple dot releases
on it.
With all the problems we have had with 9.0.1.x, I have
not had one support person recommend we go to 9.2 to
solve problems. In fact, they are backporting a bug
found during internal testing of 9.2 beta to 9.0.1.3
instead of asking us to upgrade. The basis for these
decissions being (in my opinion) that 9.2 is not as
stable as our current release.
