Well 4.9.0 is a new major release with lots of new features compared to 4.8.x, and although we try to avoid bugs, adding lots of new features is not entirely free of risk. But we try very hard not to make 4.9.1 have *more* bugs than 4.9.0, so it's just silly to use the most buggy version in a particular major release series. > Additionally, a bootstrap guide I read suggested bootstrapping > versions at max, one version level later. I'm not sure what that means, but if the authors intended to say don't try to build 4.9.1 with 4.8.0 they're giving bad advice, and even if you want to follow it, if you don't make the mistake of staring with 4.8.0 then you're not forced to use 4.9.0
