+1 about testing.

The real issue is not whether a specific release is "business ready" but
rather does the specific release meet your needs or does it have
improvements, bug fixes, etc that make it better for you.

I use 3.5.4.2 from the repository for both business and personal use and
do not have any issues for what I need and do with it. But I have
limited business needs with the most important issue being the ability
to open and to create docx and xlsx files from and for others.
