Allan ,don't get me wrong - I"m not trying to "pin" you, I just want
to point out that computers and software tend to fail, so whenever
you're updating/upgrading one or the other you *have to* have backup
plan. In most scenarios having production machine means that you
*have to* have development machine working in parallel (ideally
identical to production machine in all respects) - any changes to
production machine should be tried/tested on development machine
first. Being sysadmin for about 7 years now I know that things do
happen and you have to be ready/prepeared for everything.
Another point is to go with the "lowest resistance" path - update only
GLSA's and do full-blown upgrades only when you plan them carefully
and test'em out on development box.
