This is fine, but make sure you have the right [risk tolerance](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/proposed-release-process-and-schedule/15623) for your application.

Eg nowadays I use the latest stable release for “production” (ie to get actual work done, without distractions) because it has gotten so great, unless I have a compelling need for some feature or want t explore something. YMMV.
