And I answered to this: if I change my "host" or "anything", that's 
still no reason to update the rest of the software involved, just 
because I have a set of regressions. (Having which is generally a very 
good thing indeed, of course.)

But I give you that I probably over-interpreted you. I just wanted to 
make a "updates are usually much more dangerous than they seem" kind 
of point.

No offense intended, of course.
