which version for a new non uber critical production installation

[msew at pobox.com]

 From the mailing list and the 2.18 blocking statue page, it seems that 
2.18 rc3 and 2.19.1 and 2.16 release are all ?imminent? :-)

So for someone who is doing their first installation and first usage of 
bugzilla which should I use?   I have been eagerly awaiting 2.18rc3  as it 
seemed to be the version of choice.   But from some posts on the mailing 
list it seems that 2.19.1 is going to have a bunch of changes to make 
bugzilla more extensible.

Any idea when 2.18rc3 and 2.19.1 are going to be released?  And which one 
should I go for?


thanks!
