This a statement we hear from people periodically that just confuses 
me... they say they can't update to an 'RC' release of something (Linux 
distro, Asterisk, etc.) because they need to run in production mode, but 
they're willing to consider replacing something as fundamental as the 
Linux kernel (a bit scary) or glibc (very scary) instead.
