LOL. Yeah I'm wish you on this one.  That is is somewhat annoying to 
have to support the new version.  To me, though, since I'm interested in 
hacking core and getting patches accepted, 1.8.7 is probably a better 
bet.

Unfortunately, also, judging from the latest 1.8.7 changelog [1] I'd 
wager there are quite a few bugs that get squashed in 1.8.7 but not in 
1.8.6, but hopefully they don't matter :)
