If it's good enough for Dries, it's good enough for me:

http://acquia.com/release-notes/1.2.2-Drupal-6.9-core

BTW, my cue for when to advise D7 upgrades will probably coincide with 
when someone/Acquia provides an upgrade path from D6/CCK to D7/FiC. I 
have a feeling that won't be built in to D7, but if anyone knows 
otherwise, I'd love to hear it.
