Two quick clarifications: This update to the Steampipe beta is optional for servers. Compared to the previous Steampipe beta build, it primarily contains client-side fixes. So it is not necessary to update.
The HLDS server should continue to be able to successfully host clients, even after the flip. So if you need a bit more breathing room, you have it. HOWEVER: I would definitely not delay switching to SteamPipe. At this point the HLDS version of the server is no longer supported. We also cannot promise that we might need to make a mandatory update, perhaps as soon as tomorrow, which would make the HLDSUpdateTool server obsolete.
