This is truely the best advice. In particular, the Snort team has shined on the 2.8 line: 2.8.1 SSL Preprocessor, GRE, IP tunneling 2.8.2 Pattern matching enhancement, rule option tree 2.8.3 MPLS, HTTP_Inspect improvements. The VRT writes rules to the latest version, and rules are not guaranteed to be backwards compatible. If you're deploying Snort to actually provide useful data in your environment, then you need to stay current on versions. 2.8.4 will be no different, with some substantial upgrades expected.

Are there some installation statistics by version?You should try and run the latest version, and keep it updated. There is new/better functionality all the time.
