[GNC] Advise me please: go up to 5.4.2 or stay at 4.13?

[R Losey]

I generally stay up to date, but with the original 5.4 release leaving
processes running in Windows, I've stayed at 5.3. I fully expect to move to
5.5 when it comes out (I usually also monitor this list for a while to see
if there are any unpleasant bugs in the new release before I update).
