That depends entirely on how risk-adverse you are.  I've got enough machines
under my purview that I can install a new release on a couple rarely-used
machines to see how it goes before I try and upgrade my workhorses.  I always
wait a week or so for the workhorses anyway, so if there are any egregious
issues the workarounds are already established / easy to look up.
