(especially software engineering): If it works... DON'T try to fix it! As a former software engineer and manager (spent first 8 years of my career at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station writing Range Safety real-time missile tracking code) I can tell you from experience that this is a HARD lesson to learn! Software updates should be applied ONLY if: - You need the new functionality - Your old software isn't working - You are applying a security patch that fixes a known vulnerability Software updates should NOT be applied if: - The system is working fine as-is - The only reason you want to upgrade is to be "at the latest release" Hence, the reason my high availability servers are still based off of a Fedora Core 5 install (lots of customization -- but that's where we started). Could I upgrade to FC6 or Fedora7? Sure... but the "upgrades" are primarily in the GUI -- which I don't even install on servers! If it ain't broke (and FC5 is working great for me) then don't fix it! Just my two-cents worth!
