Going to bypass the debate portion.. Security should win for the need to update..
So for those debating and wondering if there system can handle it.. You have a great running system; so of the new stuff do you really need it? Do you know? Still its new and you really want to see... ;D ;D
Try it.. Especially if you in the same series (i.e.3.2 or 3.4 going to 3.6) just add 1 little step to the process.
Make a Systemback Restore point.. If after the upgrade things aren't happy you can easily revert back...
I did this when I upgraded each of my 3 systems.. Run the updates - Create a Restore Point - Lite Upgrade - Then another Restore after the upgrade and confirmed all is well.. In the end you'll have a before and after...
Just my plugged nickle..
