Agreed about the bleeding edge... but, just make a backup copy of your server directories prior to the upgrade and restore them if the upgrade goes south. Make sure you back up the entire directory tree. btw... I should follow my own advise... I always do backup first but on this last upgrade I skipped the backup to save time. My server users paid the price... I won't do that again.

Its kinda like not moving to the newest Service pack of windows right away. Its a better idea to wait and see what breaks before you go and update all your machines right? If there is one thing I have learned in my days as a Microsoft admin at my job is that being on the bleeding edge of updates/new releases usually gets you in trouble. Right now I am glad that I didnt update our servers so I can have a peacefull night instead of running around searching for fixes.
