Depends. If you need to interface your m2 and C code, or if
you have a real need for inline procedures, it may be worthwhile
to upgrade your system.
However, if you don't need the 'advanced' features, or if you
write all your code to be machine-independent anyway, there is
no real reason to upgrade yet. The code generator is slower,
(although it does seem to create faster code)
the new memory models aren't really necessary, and the libraries need
some additional debugging.
In any case, you may want to wait a few months for some of the bugs to
disappear.
