I believe the problem is not the frequency of update but
the concurrent updates.  2.0.12 contains a fix to a fairly
significant bug in how we were using Berkeley DB (doesn't
effect GDBM).

However, based on comments of others (which developers have not
been able to confirm), there may be an order of update or indexing
logic bug.  We're still investigating.  Any help is greatly
appreciated.

I don't think so.

It will be promoted to stable if and when it demonstrated to be
more stable than the current stable release.

Reindexing should be sufficient.  Of course, one should have a
full backup (including slapcat produced LDIF) before attempting
an upgrade.
