kebab_definite Ultimately, it's up to you if you're willing to update to releases with issues that weren't caught during internal and alpha testing.
Pros: You can help the project test new releases and report any issues you might have. You get new features a couple of days earlier.
Cons: Issues might not be fixed immediately.
My phone is set to the alpha channel. I usually end up updating later, but I don't recall having any really annoying issues that I couldn't work around. Also, in my experience, issues are usually fixed very quickly.
