Solutionone star or no star patches (usually the latest ones) as you guessed are sent out recently and their installed user base is not enough to warrant their robustness. Basically, they are "use at your own risk" kind of patches. They may be useful for some development purposes but their place is not in production for sure. And this is my personal opinion.

Re: Patches - Recommended vs Most Recent
For a full explanation, click on the "Recommended" or "Most Recent" column when you select a patch.
Essentially, it is recommended (no pun) to choose the "recommended" patch if it meets your needs. The "most recent" has not yet received as much long-term testing.

Re: Patches - Recommended vs Most Recent
Many times applying patch doesn't help your current state of your server as far as it's applications functionlity is concerned.
You may run into different issues if patches which are not required and are updated into system just because they are newly released.
Best would be to understand your application, purpose for which your server is running and the significance of the patch.
If it is not affecting the servers throughtput it doesn't make any sense to just keep yourself update by applying new upcoming patches continously. This may sometimes make your server run into problem.
