Drupal 6 beta has been released recently, and it must be better than drupal 5.x & 4.x.
I want to start a new website by using drupal, and should I just install the latest stable version of drupal or wait for the release of drupal 6?
And if I get drupal version 5.x/4.x run in my website, is it easy and safe enough to upgrade drupal to version six?
i'm sure there has been ample discussion of this in the past, but i'm not finding it in my searches, so i'll pose the question again: what are peoples' takes on maintaining Drupal sites using version control compared to manual updates via tar'd packages?
