The old DRUPAL-4-7 branch of contrib isn't known to be stable so if you updated down that you could get anything (stable, unstable, buggy, etc.) Indeed, we have always been at the mercy of module maintainers and always will be - thus using version control on your installation and keeping up with your database backups (including backing up the db before an update) has been and always will be good practice.
None the less tracking a modules DRUPAL-4-7 branch was a workable solution for keeping up with bug fixes and security updates etc in the past, the new release system makes it more work. -- Adrian Simmons (aka adrinux) <http://adrinux.perlucida.com> e-mail <mailto:adrinux@perlucida.com>
