But the changes that are made, can also be made with some plugins for 3.7.x?

As with any big update, some mods will still work on later versions, some won't. It all depends what's been changed, and you won't really know that until the Beta/RC is out.

That is a good thing in a way: better to have code included in the standard and supported software, than added as plugins.
It seems that most of the new features are improvements of the features that where introduced with vb 3.7
I guess all the major changes will be in vb 4

No, i mean that if you don't upgrade it, you can still have the same features with some mods for 3.7.x

Yes you can, but most people would much prefer to use official, supported functions, rather than third party ones. Don't get me wrong, I love vBorg and use a lot of modifications myself, but if I had the choice between an official one and a 3rd party one (which is only supported as far as the author's free time permits) it should be quite obvious which one I'd go for.

I'm about to have someone upgrade my forum 3.6.8, should I have them upgrade to 3.8 or should I wait until it is out on stable release?

When is the stable release expected?

3.8 hasn't been released at all yet. It's still in Alpha and is only on vb.com for testing purposes.

If you're going to upgrade soon you may as well upgrade to the latest stable version, which is currently 3.7.3 PL1
