In general the stance is supposed to be that if it doesn't have a news |

item, it shouldn't be a high-impact change. |

Now, I realize that broke down a bit recently and there is always a |
| 11 |
diversity of opinions on what does and doesn't need news. However, in |
| 12 |
general I wouldn't be too paranoid about things breaking/etc. |

That said, I generally don't update system packages on a day when I'm |
| 15 |
not going to have time to deal with any issues, and that is good |
| 16 |
practice. For something of particular concern I might just wait a day |
| 17 |
or two and see if there is any list or forum traffic. |
