It means it's a "major" release.  Whether you want to run it is your 
decision.  If it's the only phone that comes close to meeting your 
requirements you either relax your requirements or wait months or years
for a fully functional and stable software package.

Keep in mind that the fewer bells and whistles you get, the less there 
is to go wrong.
