Is Netgear still recommending upgrade to 6.4.0 ?

Seeing a large number of posts about problems (some of them quite serious) occurring with the official OS 6.4.0 firmware upgrade.   Is it safe to upgrade to 6.4.0, or does Netgear recommend waiting...

Could you explain why it is great? And what are the benefits of the newer kernel? How does it change the user-experience?

I was thinking about upgrading but looking at the messages, I now am very much in doubt.
